Gajin performs Reijin in Osaka 雅人 麗人 大阪 薩摩琵琶 satsuma biwa djembe

SONG STARTS AT 3:40 (skip ahead!)

Gajin mixes the sound of the African drum and the Japanese biwa to create a unique groove! Here we are performing at Minoya Hall in downtown Osaka on January 31st, 2009. There is about three minutes of introductory chat with the hilarious MCs before we play.

Thank you for the comment! It really makes me happy to hear that, as we are currently working on an album. I'll post the info here when it's ready!

Just played an awesome show in Osaka tonight, which was actually recorded for once... Probably our best yet, and I'll post some videos when I get a copy.

Thanks again for your support!

I've been listening to this on repeat since I found it.

I'm going to echo all of the comments here in saying that there needs to be a full album of this. Freaking phenomenal.
