At this free event, Hibiki Ichikawa, a Tsurugu Shamisen player, will be accompanied by singer Akari Mochitsuki in performing traditional Japanese folk songs. Originating in Aomori, in North-Eastern Japan, Tsugaru Shamisen is played on the largest size shamisen, which has a deep, rich and percussive sound. In addition to a fascinating performance, there will be a workshop where members of the audience get a chance to try their hand at playing instruments, join in with the songs, and interact with the performers.<\/p>\n<p>Hibiki Ichikawa has been playing Shamisen since he was 20. He came to the UK in 2012 and has been increasing his profile ever since. He teaches Shamisen to more than 20 students and has performed across the UK and regularly in Berlin. Additionally, he played shamisen for the soundtrack of the popular animated film <em>Kubo<\/em> <em>and the Two Strings<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Araki Mochizuki is the only Japanese Blues (<em>enka<\/em>) singer in the UK. After moving to the UK, she studied drama in Cambridge and contemporary music in London. She started her career as a professional singer in 2009 and since then has performed at many events such as WOMAD 2010, HYPER JAPAN, and Japan Matsuri 2009, 2010 and 2012.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>RSVP:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"mailto:nwvicechair@jetaa.org.uk\">nwvicechair@jetaa.org.uk<\/a> by October 6<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>JETAA NY<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Fall Harvest and Apple Picking *Save the Date*<\/p>\n<p>Please *SAVE THE DATE*, set your calendars, and plan to join JETAANY on our annual day trip up to Dutchess County for the day on Saturday, October 6 to visit apple orchards and other fun sites.
