NITABOH: The Founder of Tsugaru Shamisen
In conjunction with the upcoming concert featuring Tsugaru shamisen and Piano duo AGA-SHIO on August 23, 2019
Directed by Akio Nishizawa (2004) 99 minutes, Japanese with English subtitles
This feature is the animated biography of Nitaro Akimoto, the blind musician who founded the Tsugaru style of playing the shamisen, three-string guitar. The shamisen you hear in the film is performed by Hiromitsu Agatsuma of AGA-SHIO. It is an excellent chance to hear his playing, which conveys a feeling close to the spirit of the original pioneer Nitaboh.
See Hiromitsu Agatsuma LIVE at the AGA-SHIO concert!
