SUMMARY:Yoshida Brothers
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=".vc_custom_1655833657053{margin-bottom: 50px !important;}"][vc_column width="1/6"][/vc_column][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text]\nThe sensational Yoshida Brothers have been making waves all over the world and are finally coming to Kuala Lumpur. Presented by The Actors Studio and The Japan Foundation\, Kuala Lumpur\, in cooperation with the Embassy of Japan and with the support of JT International Berhad\, Yoshida Brothers will be performing at The Actors Studio @ Lot 10 from 21 to 23 January 2011.\nTraditional art forms around the world have come to a crossroads. Faced with stiff competition from mainstream popular culture\, as well as a decline in audience and general interest in traditional art forms\, many are struggling to preserve their cultural heritage. There are some who have taken traditional art forms to a whole new level where today?s audience\, particularly the younger generation\, can relate to it and appreciate it. After all\, it is all about accessibility.\nOne such group is the Yoshida Brothers\, comprising 33-year-old Ryoichiro Yoshida and 31-year-old Kenichi Yoshida. At the age of five\, both started learning the shamisen\, which is a three-stringed traditional Japanese instrument. After sweeping prizes at national Tsugaru-jamisen conventions\, the brothers made their major debut in 1999. Their debut album sold over 100\,000 copies\, which is an extraordinary figure for a traditional folk music release.\nThe Yoshida Brothers went on to develop their own unique blend of the Tsugaru-jamisen style fused with Western and other regional music influences. Crowned the ?new masters of the Shamisen? by J-Pop World\, the duo recently released a ?Best of Yoshida Brothers? album\, and they continue to tour extensively in Japan and internationally in the USA\, Canada\, Europe\, Australia\, New Zealand\, Hong Kong and Taiwan\, gaining legions of fans along the way. Their music was even featured in Nintendo?s Wii TV Commercial.\nIn 2011\, Malaysian audiences will have the chance to experience first-hand the captivating sounds of the Shamisen\, and the sensational duo live\, only at The Actors Studio @ Lot 10!\nShow Details\nDate & Time: 21 ? 22 Jan @ 8.30pm\, 23 Jan @ 3pm\nVenue: The Actors Studio @ Lot 10\nTicket Price: RM35 / RM25 | RM20 (students\, disabled\, elderly & JFKL members)\nBox Office Call / Walk In\n03 2142 2009 / 2143 2009 ?
