Music, dance and singing: Soubugen is an original project created by two Japanese artists from Hokkaido, Japan’s northern island. He is a shamisen player (Japanese lute) while she is a dancer, singer and plays tanpura (a kind of sitar). Together, they offer a dialogue between modernity and tradition.
Musician Hisao Suginaka was literally born with a shamisen in his hands. He handles with virtuosity this Japanese traditional instrument, alternately with thoughtfulness as a geisha in a tearoom, and with spirit as a bluesman in a street corner of New Orleans. Before founding Soubugen with Yuko Sarya, he improved in the art of Tsugaru shamisen during seven years. Amid his most fervent admirers is Don Davis, the composer of the mythical "Matrix" trilogy.
Since her youngest age has Yuko Sarya studied Japanese traditional dance (Nihon Boyou). Before founding Soubugen with Hisao Suginaka, she danced during eight years at the Theater Hyousetunomon in Sapporo. In 1997, she perfected the technique of tanpura with famous Indian master Dinesh Chandra Dyoundi.
