Although they've been around for a few years, I only recently stumbled across the Yoshida Brothers, two shamisen players from Japan who play the traditional 3-stringed folk instrument while mixing it with modern percussion and other influences from outside Japan.

An original song:

And their cover of a Radiohead song:

And here I've been using youtube to watch funny cat videos....

They are very good!

Well that was different.

I liked the comment below "I have no idea what I just watched but I think I'm gonna watch it again."

Says it all really.

Oh!!Yoshida brothers!
Do they play an active part now in U.S.A.?
