Johannes asked me about traditional Japanese music in Kabuki theatre.
Kabuki is a kind of musical theatre that consists of dance, music (though dancers and singers roles are completely seperated) and acting to tell a story, often a love story. All the performers are male and traditionally a son follows the father's foot.
Here is a very classic traditional dance piece Sagi Musume (Heron Maiden) performed by my favorite admirable Kabuki actor, BANDO Tamasaburo.
It may seem slow at the beginning (at least for me). But I'd advise you to watch till the end becuase there is a surprise!
So this was just a tird of the piece. If you like, you can see the following part.
Then the last part.
How did you enjoy?

Dance music began to evolve at a rapid pace, similar to the way Internet-connected computers and staff began to advance rapidly our culture in its brave new future. And when the electronic dance movement began to take shape through the house, trance, techno and other styles of keyboard and computer, the club scene in Ibiza DJ took the role of agents turntablest change. There is even a genre name of the island, called Balearic Beat, and the local music Ibiza is known for its strong grooves that are mixed with a strong Spanish influence.
