Japanese flute at city hall

[pampermanneke]

the end is funny :)

[MastaGambit]

Sounds a tad too Arabian. >>

[MATxVP]

@MastaGambit It really doesn't. Arabian music does not sound anything like this. Indian music may however but even then is still a different beast.

I don't know if the flute is japanese or not... but that guy seems to be chinese... for his shirt and the salute at the end

[Polanskyful]

@Candros89 You have no idea what you are talking about. He is playing the shakuhachi. the shakuhachi is a traditional Japanese flute. He did not salute at the end. He bowed. It is a common practice among performers of all races. Finally, you cannot judge a person's nationality based on their clothes.

[Candros89]

@Polanskyful you'r right... i got no idea... my thoughts are assumptions. but at the very end he does a chinese salute... right after the bow

[Polanskyful]

@Candros89 I apologize for my slightly sharp comment... but he brings his hands together on the flute?

[Candros89]

@Polanskyful no problem ^^

and yes... it seems to me like a chinese salute... bring his hands together (chinese salute) but he has the flute in his hands so is a chinese salute... with a flute :)

but maybe japanese people has a similar salute too... i don't know

[Polanskyful]

@Candros89 Oh yeah, I didn't say this, but he's doing a benefit concert at my school May 11! My Japanese teacher studied Japanese folk music under him while she lived in Japan!
