Mitsune is a folk fusion band from Berlin, with members hailing from Japan, Australia, Germany and Greece. Fronted by a powerful trio of female shamisen players, accompanied by percussion and double bass, Mitsune take their love of Japanese folk music and infuse it with jazz, psychedelic and cinematic influences to create an evocative fusion experience. The heart and soul of Mitsune is the ‘Tsugaru shamisen’, a 3-stringed Japanese lute favoured by blind folks and itinerant musicians of old Japan.
