”A Shamisen Orchestra” is Paolo Cotrone, a musician, composer and songwriter from Naples, Italy.
Paolo started as a guitar player, under the wing of his father, but eventually he took up the challenge to master other instruments.
In 2014 he became a student of the Shamisen, even going as far as spending time in Japan to learn from the masters of the craft. Since 2023 he is also earned the title of Shihan Natori, becoming the first non-Japanese to achieve the rank of Master in this discipline.
He started “A Shamisen Orchestra” as an outlet to combine the sounds of the Shamisen with a wide range of influences, including progressive rock and electronic music.
It was just in 2014 that he discovered the Shamisen, a Japanese stringed instrument descended directly from the Sumerian times, more than 6000 years ago. He felt a deep bond between him and that culture, so he started studying it by himself. It was just a year after that he found his Teacher, Mariko Ohno of Kine-Ie Kai. With her, he managed to discover the secrets of the plays and songs of the Japanese Traditional Theater and Music (Kabuki and Nagauta).
In May 2019, he graduated at Kine-ie Kai in Tokyo as the first European Natori (Holder of a Japanese Stage name), becoming 杵家弥蝶ノ嵐 (Kine-ie Ya Cho no Ran). In April 2023, he completed his studies and earned the title of Shihan Natori, becoming the first non-Japanese to achieve the rank of Master in this discipline.
He’s always looking for a way to develop his own style of composing and playing, merging different arts and different cultures in his works, both alone and with other artists.
