My find of the day : Yoshida Brothers
The Yoshida Kyōdai (吉田兄弟) are Japanese musicians known for fusion of the rapid and percussive Tsugaru-jamisen style along with Western and other regional musical influences. (Tsugaru-jamisen is a traditional Japanese music style which originated in northern Japan.) Yoshida brothers have released several albums under the Domo Records.
They debuted in 1999 in Japan as a duo playing the shamisen. Their first album sold over 100,000 copies and made them minor celebrities in Japan, a fact that surprised the Yoshida Brothers themselves. They have since attracted an international audience.
