(Noriko Tadano Profile)..............................................................................
Noriko Tadano plays both traditional Japanese folk songs (minyo) as well as
original pieces on the Tsugaru Shamisen (Japanese Banjo). She has been
playing Shamisen since she was 6 years old and has performed in Japan
and at Festivals and events all over Australia. Noriko's ability and drive to
cross over between traditional and modern Japanese music has recently
seen her perform with renown blues and jazz musicians as well as
traditional Japanese musicians. While traditional Minyo depicts the life and
feelings of 'older' Japan, centering around the themes of love, family and
the close connection with nature, Noriko's original pieces explore feelings
and experiences through melodic notes and often heart pounding beats.
