Yoshida Brothers (21-23 Jan 2011) - Watch the Trailer!

Traditional art forms have come to a cross road. Many are confounded with the task of appealing to today's audience and yet preserving their cultural heritage.

Yoshida Brothers is a classic example of a group that has taken their traditional art form to a whole new level and made it big!

The brothers, both masters of the three-stringed traditional Japanese instrument called shamisen, have taken the world by storm with their unique... blend of the Tsugaru-shamisen style infused with Western and regional music influences. They have toured all over the world, gaining legions of fans along the way. Their music has been featured on a Nintendo Wii TV commercial.

Catch the sensational duo live in KL for the first time for three nights only!

"...take one step back in time and one into the future and say hello to the new masters of the Shamisen - the Yoshida Brothers of Japan" J-Pop World
