Yoshida Brothers 2

The Yoshida Brothers' star continues to rise with their highly anticipated album, Yoshida Brothers II. Mixing traditional Japanese music with Western influences, their brash, signature sound incorporates jazz-like improvisation, pop-rock sensibilities, and disparate global music idioms into their virtuoso shamisen mastery. The Brothers play the age-old Tsugaru shamisen - an instrument akin to a rustic three-string banjo. The framework of the Yoshida Brothers' art may be traditional, but its essence and spirit are revolutionary!
