An Evening of Japanese Fusion

For the first time ever, 22 year old prodigy and tsugaru shamisen tournament champion Reigen Fujii will be coming to California to share his unique skills. Fujii san is not only a master player of traditional tsugaru shamisen, but has also raised jazz on the shamisen to new levels. He plays in both traditional music venues and jazz clubs in Japan. To hear an amazing shamisen player like Reigen Fujii in California is a special treat, and should not be missed!

Join Reigen Fujii in his first concert in the US! In this Evening of Japanese Fusion, Fujii san will be joined with Karl Young (shakuhachi, shinobue), Bruce Mui Ghent (taiko) Pierre Archain (standup bass) Brian Wong (koto) and Kyle Abbott (shamisen, mandolin). Together, Fujii san and this group of dynamic musicians will be performing an exciting blend of traditional minyo (Japanese folk) and Jazz standards.
