Ritsu

electric violinist

With her hot-pink electric violin and deconstructed kimonos combined with haunting gypsy melodies and urban beats, Ritsu redefines an old instrument's role in the modern world. By weaving a tapestry of eclectic elements from Classical, Blues, Japanese, Gypsy and Metal, Ritsu spans several genres and defies classification. Buddhist chants flow in powerchords and dissolve into beautiful melodies. Hers is a world of stark contrasts, passion and shock. While entranced the listener will never be allowed to relax.
