Beautiful traditional and contemporary musics performed in Koto and Shamizen
We've enjoyed a beatutiful presentation with traditional and contemporary musics in Koto and Shamizen played and sang by Furan! Besides there were a brief explanation about the instruments' history and characteristics. As well there were informations about each music performed. The team of Gen are very nice people who helped us to understand a little about traditional japanese music. Special thanks to Furan, Audrey, Shohei and Natthawara from Gen.
