Monkey Majik + Yoshida Brothers - Change
Posted on June 6th, 2007
I’d not heard of Monkey Majik before, but stumbled across this video of their song Change, that combines traditional Japanese shamisen instruments, english vocals with a rock sound. The Yoshida brothers on the shamisen are pretty amazing in this track. It works surprisingly well and I like it even though it’s not really my cup of tea. Looking up Monkey Majik seems to indicate they’re based out of Japan - which is quite fascinating for a (mostly) english singing band. This track (which is pretty cheesey) has them crooning fluently in Japanese.
