Yugo Sato, one of the most talented musicians I've met in the Tokyo scene. Born and raised in Japan, yet he can play the blues better than any American I know. He's been a reoccurring character in this blog as well as my life here in Tokyo; an incredible musician and a true friend.
This track illustrates his musical brilliance and sense of hybrid creativity. The song is titled "Ronin Blues," ronin being the Japanese word for a masterless samurai vagabond. In it, he cries out with his masterfully bluesy voice while strumming the Shamisen, a traditional Japanese stringed instrument.
