Wagakki Band in showcase
Come see the beauty of traditional Japanese instruments like never before, with the band Wakkagiband, a fresh and dynamic fusion between authentic traditional instruments and rock!
Young and talented, the members of Wagakkiband are impressive in every way: they not only are very competent and renowned musicians, but also stylish: especially the singer Yuko SUZUHANA (elected Miss Nico Nama in 2011) and Beni NINAGAWA (also an idol and a model).
Wagakkiband offers you something new and never seen before, mixing the unique rhythms and beautiful melodies of their traditional instruments (shigin, koto, shakuhachi, wadaiko and tsugaru) to the intensity of a bass, an electric guitar and drums.
With the support of the government’s project Cool Japan, they have grown fast as a band and are already very famous in Japan. Their videos are broadcast at the entrance of stores of the clothing brand gouk, and their last video Tengaku was seen more than 200 000 times in four days. Combining youth and technique, they offer you an entertaining and never-seen-before performance at the Live House on Saturday the 5th of July.
