Perfected as the ultimate Jazz Funk collaboration between shamisen virtuoso Kino and canguard NY Jazz artists, Kino's breakthrough album plays through with high powered Blues, Jazz and Pop expressions that set sparks to stunning improvisations that melt the traditional shamisen sound into soulful grooves. Kino makes the Shamisen wail like a heavy Blues guitar, a transformation that is inaccessible for many traditional Shamisen artists. She has toured in Central and South America, Italy, Spain, Taiwan and other parts of the world.
