Honshirabe-Shakuhachi flute concert-Rodrigo Rodriguez

  • 13 years ago
17 march concert at Fundacio Casa del Tibet-Barcelona.
Honshirabe

"Honshirabe" literally means "basic melody". The technical and mental approaches to this piece represent the basic building blocks of shakuhachi honkyoku. It is said that some monks played this song their entire lives as part of a Buddhist training aimed at squeezing everything possible out of it and themselves. Of course, this does not mean that they were continually playing, but, more significantly, that they were "living" shakuhachi as a spiritual discipline.
