Mitsune is a Japanese neo-folk fusion band based in Berlin, with members hailing from Japan, Australia and Greece. Fronted by two powerful female shamisen players, accompanied with percussion and double bass, Mitsune combines their love of Japanese folk music with psychedelic, jazz and cinematic influences. 

The heart and soul of Mitsune is the Tsugaru shamisen, a 3-stringed Japanese lute once favoured by blind folks and itinerant musicians of olden Japan. Mitsune both honours and modernises shamisen tradition, conveying folklore imagery, personal and cultural stories and raw emotion through this ancient instrument. They perform reimagined Japanese folk songs and original compositions filled with virtuosity, driving beats and wild group vocals. 

With their unprecedented energy and powerful performances, Mitsune takes you on a musical journey full of surprises and emotions.
