Takahashi Chikuzan (高橋竹山) - Tsugaru-Shamisen

I can't really say that this is actually for everyone. I even know some people who hate this instrument. Shamisen is some kind of Asian equivalent of the acoustic guitar that was developed in Europe. Its music appears in a lot of samurai movies and the sort.

This album is completely composed only for Shamisen which is why for some it might be very dull. On the other hand if you adore this instrument and its sound then this is your holy grail. Takahashi Chikuzan is one of the most famous players of this instrument and is quite talented. So sit back and enjoy some bad ass playing.
