Change

Thats the title of the new Monkey Majik song I'm hooked on to. It seems that their popularity is really pick up around the world. Its fusion of Jap and English music seems to be well appreciated by the Japanese and English speaking world. I think part of that unique blend is due to their collaborations with various Japanese artistes. Sounds like I'm describing coffee, I know, but thats how I see them. A very unique blend of east-meets west coffee.

Take a listen to "Change" and you'll know what I mean. I was captured by initial intro done by the Yoshida Bros on the Shamisen (A traditional Japanese 3 string lute popularised in the Edo era). It gave it a real classical sound, almost like what you hear in those really old Samurai movies when the suspense or actions hypes up. But what really impressed me more was the way they played that instrument meet the pace and rhythm of this very "Western" based song, giving it a very unique oriental flair.

Love it!

Give it a listen. Go on! (Click the lil green play icon on the bottom right of my blog in case my embedded music is still playing.)
