Yoshi & Chie are friends of mine from Osaka, Japan, where I lived for a year back in 2002-03. They now live here in Toronro, where I got to know them while busking together on the street, and jamming at my house with a few other friends. Here's a medley of music from that day:

Yoshi is an incredibly talented and super creative sitar player, sometimes playing with a violin bow, or with trippy electronic effects. He participated in a performance of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band full album re-enactment here in Toronto several years ago. Together with wife Chie, who plays didgeridoo, sings, and plays various percussion and electronic effects, they form the group Kaminari. Kaminari is a very popular act performing at various music festivals around Toronto, with shows now including dancing performances by their daughter.

This is a song from their early album Triangle, where I was honoured to be asked to play the drum (djembe) part - the only other artist on the album. 

Here's a video of a show they did a while ago to give you a sense of their stuff. I just like to plug them cause they're a super nice couple and a joy to play with.

lyrics:
And then i ask my self, is there a way out, could i be heard loud?
And then i ask my self, could it be?

And then i turn my head, up in the sky and wondering why?
could i turn back time or live it again?

Chances are thrown away, anothers have won not gone astray
but that's a blessing not a curse so thank you!

You think is over...over now, just shake your head and face now
face the truth and all the greatness around

Don't need nothing else, i got everything that completes me
all the rest is just a dusty grain of sand

Dusty Grain of Sand

ESCAPE the four walls of today with this heavy rhythm!
Let the madness of the bass take you away!

Keep passionately creating, chase your dreams to exhaustion!

Lyrics:

If you feel tired and can't find any pleasures
Unable to see how things really should be

You need a long break
To heal your heartache
And for Gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength to get through the day

If you don't know how to love
And don't know how to live
If you feel split in two
And have nothing to give

You need a long break
To heal your heartache
And for gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength to get through the day

If family and friends see you as only strong
They may not be aware of
That you struggle all day long

And need a long break
To heal your heartache
And for Gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength, to get through the day..

To be able to help others
You have to help yourself
Don't be ashamed
To stop up and say

That you need a long break
To heal your heartache
And for gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength, to get through the day..

So take a long break
To heal your heartache
And for Gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength to get through the day...

JUKEBOX QUEEN (Lyrics)

She's a jukebox queen
Who really digs the scene
In her platform shoes and tight flared jeans
(Tight flared – Tight flared jeans)

She wears a crazy coloured coat
Nice glitter in her hair
She really digs the music thrown in the air
(By her - jukebox machine)

She likes to Bang a Gong - Get It On with the Slider
She likes to dance all night long
And she won't go home tonight! (Tonight)

Oooh my jukebox queen
She really digs the scene
She has a stove pipe hat and Rides a White Swan
Ride on – Baby ride on)

My jukebox queen
She really digs the scene
My jukebox queen
She's a Jeepster - for my love
(My love – For my love)

She likes to Bang a Gong - Get It On with the Slider
She likes to dance all night long
And she won't go home tonight! (Tonight)

I push the buttons C and (4) four
Than we hear Hot Love that´s what we are looking for
If I looking through - a colourfull lense
All of Bolan`s words make sense

Uh uh nananaa
Uh uh na na
Uh uh nananaa
Uh Uh Hey Hey

She is my jukebox queen
Really digs the scene
She likes to dance all night long
And won't - go home
Jukebox queen!!

Jukebox queen - A Cosmic Dancer
Jukebox queen - She is a Jewel

Jukebox queen - A Mystic Lady
Jukebox queen - She´s my Baby Strange
