Banging on my shamisen with a chopstick on a Sunday morning in Nairobi. Kenya

I woke up this morning and started beating on my shamisen with a chopstick.

This is what it sounded like.

Joking aside, the shamisen has some really cool acoustic properties that are worth exploring. I am pretty sure that no one will watch this to the end. It was cool for me though.

Yes, I know. I am a fan of hers, from even back in her John Zorn days.
