Anyone heard of this talanted young Japanese artist?

[Mats]

Run into this (for me) new guy Agatsuma playing a 3 stringed old Japaneese Tsugaru-Shamisen. Shamisen originates from China and the Japanese made there own way with it and this guy for sure did his. It's a pretty cool sound that I got hooked on right away.

This week Domo Records is running a special for his 2'nd CD (as of the japaneese releases) called BEAMS selling it for $10.50

He did a LA tour this August between the 7th and 9th.
The following link is to the CD samples...

Ran by Best Buy hoping to pick this up for our vacation trip, but they didn't have it in stock. Oh well, gotta keep looking.

I guess you have to look for it online to get hold of the CD and to get t shipped from LA to you wouldn't take too long.
Talking about Domo Records, my favourite, Kitaro just released his new CD also, Sacred Journey of Ku-kai. That's another must buy for me

Hey Mats, The word "Jap" is derogatory and racist. I'm sure you didn't mean it that way but it still is.

Mike in Denver,

I took the liberty to amend parts of Mats post. I'm sure he meant nothing to upset/offend anyone.

And Mats,

Nice find on this one. I'm enjoying the Domo website. Lots of good music there.
