Kabusacki with Yuji Katsui, U-zhaan and Mariko Goto in Tokyo. June 4 2013

Shimokitazawa 440 

Kabusacki, Yuji Katsui, U-zhaan and Mariko Goto

Fernando Kabusacki: electric guitar
Yuji Katsui: violin
Mariko Goto: vocals
U-Zhaan: tablas

Rest, practice and reading in the morning.

Shimokitazawa 440 is one of my favorite venues in Japan, wonderful sound operated by engineer Michiru Tawa. Here I played memorable concerts, the first one I remember was a trio with Yuji Katsui and Seiichi Yamamoto. I still consider releasing the recording of that performance someday. So great!







Goto Mariko is a superb singer, unpredictable...so much fun to play with!!!


Here's a video of U-Zhaan, tablas virtuoso, playing in this video with the amazing Rei Harakami. (Rei died 2 years ago. I cannot believe this still)

Yuji Katsui and I have been playing together every couple of years since we first met playing with Juana Molina in Tokyo around 2022. We played together in Japan, USA and Argentina.

Here's a photo of Rovo master Yuji from Smashingmag.com



I'm so glad to be back in Japan, playing in this wonderful venues with such great musicians.
