Shamisen performance group of the 21st century!
Greetings from northern Japan. The Monsters of Shamisen has reunited for several performances . Kevin Kmetz and Mike Penny both arrived from California the end of April and met up with Masahiro in Kanagi (said to be the birthplace of Tsugaru Shamisen)t the day before the 2007 national tournament . Along with three additional members Shirata Michiyaki, Hara Yousuke and Makoto Nakata the Monsters of Shamisen took the stage. We were awarded for our geoup performance of "Kita no Hibiki" written by Masahiro`s father Hiroshi Nitta . The following day we performed a full one hour set at the an Nai Maruyama site along with Grant Reimer from Santa Cruz . Our performance included many of the peices we played together this past January along with some new ones as well. We are planning to continue to move forward as a group pushing the limits of Tsugaru Shamisen and introducing the world to new music !!
