津軽三味線 (Tsugaru-jamisen)

Hi 朋友仔 :)

今日我為大家介紹我地係十和田湖附近聼嘅津軽三味線。
Hi friends :)

Today I write about 津軽三味線（Tsugaru-jamisen) that we listened when we visited 十和田湖 area.

三味線係日本傳統嘅三弦樂器。

三味線 (Shamisen) is a Japanese traditional three-stringed musical instrument.

<三味線 wiki> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamisen

津軽三味線係三味線嘅其中一類型, 發源地係日本最北嘅青森県。

津軽三味線 (Tsugaru-jamisen) is a genre of shamisen music originated in 青森県 (Aomori prefecture) in the northernmost area in Japan.

我地可以係湖邊嘅演奏廳聼到津軽三味線真係好好彩呀。更好彩嘅係, 我地可以遇見好年輕嘅樂手遠藤昌宏(www.endos-tsugaru.jp/)。佢係好多年嚟全國津軽三味線比賽嘅得獎者, 仲透過唔同嘅活動向世界各地人士介紹津軽三味線。佢為我地彈奏津軽じょんがら節…好好聼呀! 我聼到某個感動位果時真係忍唔住喊呀。

It was really fortunate that I could find 津軽三味線 concert hall near the lake.

More fortunately, I could meet a great young 津軽三味線 player there. His name is 遠藤昌宏 (Endo, Masahiro. www.endos-tsugaru.jp/) a prize winner at the national contest of 津軽三味線 for many years, and he actively introduces 津軽三味線 to the people around the world.

He played 津軽じょんがら節 (Tsugaru Jongara Bushi) for us, and it was… .Awsome. I could not help crying when I listend the emotinal tune.

津軽三味線最初係由一位盲女叫瞽女發起嘅, 佢以此向其他人乞討食物同金錢。呢啲日子對佢嚟講一定好難捱, 特別係啲落雪嘅日子…

津軽三味線 has been started by blind women called 瞽女 (Goze) to beg their food and money with their play. It must have been really hard life for them to survive especially dring snow drifting winter season…

津軽じょんがら節係點? 一齊嚟聼下

What is the sound like? Listen 津軽じょんがら節>>

津軽三味線観光会館係o係奥入瀬渓谷旁邊。所以我好建議大家嚟十和田湖或者奥入瀬嘅時候就要嚟埋呢度喇~!

The concert hall 津軽三味線観光会館 is located next to the 奥入瀬渓谷 (Oirase valley). So, I strongly recommend to visit here when you visit 十和田湖 or 奥入瀬渓谷 :)
