Shakuhachi – Japanese Bamboo Flute

Today I learnt something new, from a mention on FB by a friend, the Japanese (bamboo) Flute.

I’ve always been interested in other instruments and sounds (being a ex musician) and found a good link with sound clips on wiki.. follow the link below.

Thanks to Miho πŸ™‚

Japan Music Night – Kings Arms Tavern

HI Happy Humanies πŸ™‚

 

Tonight was the first (and I hope not the last) of the Japan Music Night at the Kings Arms Tavern in Auckland, listing a number of Japanese bands.

I got there for the last three, of which they were great.

Miho Wada and band were playing, and I can’t help but be impressed with these guys (and girl) πŸ™‚
They just rock!

Visit the website, and buy a CD, support local: www.mihowada.com

Cheers πŸ™‚

 

Pics El Randomo – Sorry for the poor quality of these, the venue lighting was darker then normal and I had to push the ISO up, so its a little blurry and grainy
