What is hip ? (cover ) - TOKYO GROOVE JYOSHI

[@jasonmaitoza6713]

"What's hip?" you ask. Juna Serita is hip! Get down girl! 🔥 💥 ✨ 🎵 🎶 👏 😎

[@jamescunningham733]

Ladies all of you are AMAZING!!!!! I'm a Army veteran. Served 9 years. I appreciate you music so much. God bless all of you and family

[@nap_time_]

what does being an army veteran have to do with any of this

[@gmxkey]

50 years of listening to Tower of Power and now hearing What is Hip anew... so fresh!

[@darylclaybrooks6262]

Right????!!??? They do the song justice!

[@scotth1992]

I've watched this 20 times and still find it FUNKY!

[@lollito84]

Only 20 !!

[@ACactusHealingRhino]

IT DONT STOP. THIS FUNK ETERNAL MAN

[@bassismath9118]

The bass player is insane

[@LoveGr00ve]

She really is. I just wish her solo had a little less Marcus Miller, and a little more herself in it. Can't blame her for digging the guy, though. ^^

[@thejazzbass76]

bass is math There comes so much pressure from her.... This is what I call bass playing, for the music and not for herself.

[@africandiamond8006]

Offffff tha chain,,

[@troyl5498]

Hell yeah, that bass player tho 👍!! I could practice for years and never be as good as her...😢

[@ronniestokes9190]

True that

[@boogy110]

One of the best discoveries in years.....

[@Spontaneous0rder]

Drum solo: OUTSTANDING.

[@eldenjr]

I’ve been watching this video and these ladies cover this tune for two years and it’s never gotten old! What talent. And you young lady on the Syamisen, you are incredible! You have taken that instrument to another level. Amazing!

[@JamesStith-z5b]

You can see the hard work and dedication they all put into their craft😊

[@achillefskatsamas1359]

The bass player came from another galaxy

[@horurkristinsson5292]

yup

[@TimWilliams-f7o]

[@JordanArnold-v9m]

and I shall never hear any shade cast her way.

[@davionsmith4377]

Damn... I love you Juna Serita!!! Woman you are beautiful and talented...On tha real!!!

[@taka0623]

三味線の音色が効果的で、4人が作り出すグルーブは世界に通用する演奏。とくにマーカス・ミラーみたいなジュナのベース最高！

[@tegknox2694]

2:56 I don't believe I've ever heard shimisen groove like that before. The whole group has this basic very honest sound that just jumps out at me.

[@fkm6283]

This groove has been the most fun I've had on KZbin in years!

[@ehsanur]

WOW! I was blown away....esp being a bassist, that bass playing so groovy by Juna !

[@donotneed2250]

I've never heard anyone get funky with the shamisen before.👍🏾👍🏽

[@worshipwhilewewait]

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mikesstrippeddowncovers.2384]

Really works though! Thanks for letting us know what it is. I was wondering.

[@jbmaillet]

Really?Have a look at this one from 2009: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIXWomqNmJWVfs0 I (as a former bass player) almost brought a shashimen back from my last trip in Japan in 2011.

[@jbmaillet]

This one too (not funk, but yet) also demonstrates quite well the potential of the shashimen as an intrument: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6LPpIJsnrVopdk The tune is way older than 2016 but I can't get my hands on the original video. Pardon my French, but "ca envoie du bois!" ("it spends wood splinters all over the place!")

[@ruebenaguilera771]

And get funky she does!

[@matthewskillo8577]

What the ? This is completely off the chain! What an amazing group of absolute talent and musicianship! Love it!

[@Benertainment]

Yeah, just found em this morning, and currently having my mind BLOWN!!!!

[@David-ng2bw]

Wow 👌 what a band it's all about the music 🎶 and ladies 🚺 you play and wear it well 👍 👌 😀 👏

[@SwisstedChef2018]

and gorgeous as well

[@Isimplywenttoschool]

The bass player is amazing, all together great jam❤.

[@leonbridges1802]

"What is hip" you ladies are. 🖤👽

[@mikeat2637]

Well, this isn't something you see every day !!!! Shinobu Kawashima is just killing it along with Juna, Emi and Yuriko !!!!! The Tsugaru Shamisen is such a wonderful instrument.

[@deltasly7204]

All musicians amazing! Never get tired of this performance!

[@Lpmgato1]

Juna Serita is great on bass, blues, jazz, funk, rock, all genres. She's also beautiful, adorable and charming. Gotta love her!

[@ltravail]

Damn!!! Just discovered these ladies recently. They are remarkable! The musicianship is world class. The energy of the music is electrifying and the performances mesmerizing!

[@cherylgafner9903]

How are there any thumbs down? Folks that could not play a musical instrument in their lifetimes?!? Amazing, beautiful, talented women!!!

[@blazemarshall6324]

I realize it is pretty off topic but does anybody know of a good place to watch newly released tv shows online ?

[@axtoneli8682]

@Blaze Marshall I would suggest flixzone. You can find it on google =)

[@paulhowes5094]

because there's always some assholes I love this version of what is hip. When I searched for the song I had no idea I would discover these ladies

[@alpintourer]

I think the thumbs down relate to the playing of a traditional Japanese instrument. It's just a little too twangy from me, but I appreciate the skill and mastery of playing. Great video editing BTW

[@kennethholmes6787]

Haters...that's the only people who thumbs down

[@MarioDiaz-of4es]

Bravo Bravo Bravo , Amazing and sooooo Funky. Bass Player WoW those fingers ,fast as lightning. Cool performance.

[@kitsvn]

This is still one of my favorite performances I’ve ever seen 🙏🏻 感謝申し上げます。

[@CaevanOShite]

What a badass band! Tokyo Groove Jyoshi rocks!

[@funmakers2093]

This is rather badass. Channeling Marcus Miller? Mad props to a group of talented players who can bring the intensity.

[@brucegoodwin634]

Rather, I say!

[@mgohler]

Not to mention Tower of Power (just in case anyone doesn't know)... 🙂

[@KrisVComm]

Channeling Francis Rocco Prestia

[@johnsandman1148]

I hear shades of Mark White/bass player with the Spin Doctors.@@KrisVComm

[@aquamarine99911]

Marcus put out this arrangement in 2008. But these girls play it better, and with more energy. MM didn't even do a bass solo in his version, so it's almost all Juna in this song.

[@MaartenvanSchaik]

3:28 when Juna goes into full bass beast mode 👍🏻✌🏻. My favorite video of this moment.

[@macrumpton]

Funkiest Syamisen solo ever by a big margin.

[@marcogalvan8271]

Amen!

[@chriswebb8385]

My first concert was Tower Of Power right when the What Is Hip album came out.. I'm impressed with all these girls putting a personal touch to one of Towers songs. Each of them are tight with their instruments. They are all Pro's!! Juna.. seriously.. You can cover Rocco's bass work flawlessly..

[@bassboye8959]

Hearing that song once for us musians leaves a lasting bunch of musical lessons. They took it beyond& ty for your story.

[@Frisbieinstein]

It's just as good but Rocco was before slap-and-pop. He had his own unique way of doing things, muting with the left hand.

[@mdewakanton8157]

Such an awesome video! I am a huge fan of Tower of Power! I got an autographed pic of the band 20 yrs ago! I’m also so impressed with this incredible band!!

[@Koga-Ed]

First I thought: wow ! What a great bass-player. Then noticed: well, that keyboard player isn’t bad either ! And after that super funky bass solo my mind totally blew: even the drummer has some really superb chops ! 🤩😎. One of the best examples of musicians who really know how to groove ! Big kudos lady’s ! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@janbellemans308]

You forgot to mention the absolutely stunning Koto player

[@michaelglover700]

Tower of Power would be proud. EXCELLENT!!!

[@SleepyBeachChairs-cx5xr]

I'm truly blessed to see what is my favorite "female" bass player. Luv her .

[@bcmilatino0116]

Juna, what an awesome band you have. I love the music i have heard from you so far. I loved how your guest took a traditional instrument and rocked it. All of your musicians are amazing.

[@bassboye8959]

Well put ty!! The band wow!

All of these women are amazing musicians; I love the drummer's style, and Juna? (As a bass player myself) I can't even think of words to describe her impeccable technique and her spot on timing, not to mention the way she "throws it down" during the slap-bass style solo. This makes me want to go buy a new bass and some effects, an amp and oh so much more... lol

[@jonathancomfort9939]

😲😲😲😃😃😲😲😲...so slick you had the old school acoustic accompaniment. This band is...I can't even think of positive/uplifting words that would do justice to their skills/stage presence and energy-speechless you left me. 🎶🎶🎶💜🎶🎶🎶

As a musician myself I know within myself what renditions work and what don't. I like not only what I heard, but what I saw. Allow me to say this: music holds no boundaries, and everyone and everything is connected. We ate the creators. If we comp someone's work, it simply means we like the help out of it! Understand when I say this, it simply means to continue to develop your style and appreciate others style. If you do it on a pro level get permission to go forward, because you will pay! Thumbs up from me to you! Keep rocking!

[@ericmiller5384]

A couple of words I want to correct: the word ate should read are; the word help should be hell. That's all, folks!

[@bassboye8959]

The first time I saw this group!! Oh shyt!! Blew me away & I've been playing bass kinda like that for 27 yrs! Glad there wasn't you tube when I was coming up or would have likely gave up playing aftter seeing this LMAO.
