About the Nominee

Mitsune combines traditional Japanese folk with jazz, eastern blues, rock and dance beats, as well as wild, cinematic and psychedelic sounds. The heart and soul of their music is the tsugaru shamisen, a three-stringed Japanese lute. Led by two female shamisen players, complemented by percussion and bass, the Berlin-based foursome serves up modern folklore with rousing beats, raw emotion and decidedly decadent costumes.
