Music for Zen Meditation - Shakuhachi Japanese Flute

Music for Zen Meditation - Shakuhachi Japanese Flute

"Shakuhachi flute music has deep spiritual roots, back to the Komuso Monks in the Edo Period. The Shakuhachi flute expresses a deep kind of music that can only be heard when our mind is calm, we open our hearts, and walked with silence. The repertoire of the master Rodrigo Rodriguez has a broad musical knowledge of ancient and anonymous pieces, which were once sacred musical works.Rodrigo Rodriguez is the recipient of the most revered traditional shakuhachi lineages in Japan , recognized student of the shakuhachi master Kohachiro Miyata , linked to the lineage Mu-ryū. Across the white slopes of the highest mountains of Japan, derives the sweet sound of flutes. The passionate call of the deer calls us the " wilderness " which has been a haven of spirit for many centuries. "
