Japanese traditional music

Post by Hiba »

Hello

Is there anyone here enjoys Japanese traditional instrument?

I myself is a big maniac of this field. Here I found the page you can listen to Japanese traditional instruments such as Koto (stringed one), Shamisen, Shakuhachi and folk songs.

I would reccomend http://www.shoutcast.com for every kind of music you like (including japanese).
its some kind of free portal that is leading to thousands of free internet radios. all you need is the (of course free) winamp media player ( http://www.winamp.com ) and you have access to more than 17thousand radio stations all over the world :)
there's also a good plugin for the winamp player with which you can save the radioprogram to your computer.

Check out the jpop group, 'RIN.
They're an all female trio. They do pop but they use traditional instruments like the Shakuhachi, Biwa, Koto (and Dai Koto) and Shamisen.

I like them a lot.

Try visiting YouTube and do a search for "SAKITAMA". It's one of their more popular tracks.
