Satsuma biwa & African drum duo Gajin 雅人 - Reijin

[clalmenara]

great energy



[Gekneveld]

This is very inspiring music. I just love it. Added to favorites.

For me, the 'poor' quality adds to the global atmosphere. It gives a strange industrial feeling to the track. Reminds me of Muslimgauze, but better and without the dark background ;-).

I love the mix of the Biwa and Djembe. For some reason, the Djembe always brings a lot of energy and life.

[Obakedake]

Yes, at first I was unsure if it would be possible to play the biwa with the djembe, but I think they sound great together! I have to say that the drummer is excellent though... I love how he plays!

where can i find some good biwa albums, you know like biwa music?

[Obakedake]

It's difficult to get biwa CDs outside of Japan, and they are expensive because they are imports, but you can find a few biwa compilations on Amazon. My favorite biwa album is probably Sakata Yoshiko's (坂田美子). If you can find it, check it out! watch?v=HfOA20OY1fk has a similar singing style, which makes sense since they are of the same school of Satsuma biwa.
