津軽三味線 traditional Tsugaru folk song San-sagari 津軽三下がり

[McEmishi]

Oh! Fantastic! I was born and raised in Tsugaru. I am happy to listen to this perfomed by a foreign musician.

OK... I now OFFICIALLY love san-sagari tuning! ^_^ I've studied Japanese music in general for years, and I have been looking for a style that features the C - D - F - G - Bb - C scale (suspended pentatonic). There are some ornamental notes (to our Western ears) in this song, but I also heard the little girl singing the vocal melody in a different video.

It was the suspended pentatonic! ^_^ Eureka! Such gorgeous music. Thank you!

音が丁寧で、すごく聞きやすい。日本人でも覚えにくいこの訳の分­からない曲をよくも弾きこなすものだと感心します。

Very cool Mike. It's refreshing to hear a piece with 三下がり tuning. I've personally only got a single, small, redition of 'sakura' down with that tuning. It's fun though.  A bit more relaxed sound, very tranquil.
