Akima:
Classical pipa (琵琶) meets Western rock. The piece is《十面埋伏》or "Ambush from all Sides", a very famous pipa solo commemorating the historical Battle of Gaixia, which lead to the establishment of the Han Dynasty, essentially the "foundational" dynasty of Imperial China, and the reason we call ourselves the Han* people to this day.

This is a really good piece!

Trying to match Akima's take of a traditional ethnic instrument used to perform a modern piece. The best I could find right away was this
//www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YzVBsd8r4Ykantele player joining forces with a cellist.

I concede that the drummer in Akima's video is way more convincing than this cellist as supporting cast :-D.

The lady is making a living teaching youngsters to play (modern) kantele, so I guess there are enough people interested in learning the art. Most of us associate kantele with folkloristic music from the era when the Finns didn't know whether they want to advance from the bronze age to the iron age.

I think here //www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bb6OtTcMNxE her kantele sound is closer to  the "traditional".

I like this. But won't click anything with ninja turtles in it :-)

Don't worry, it's only music. The visual component of the video is a stock loop that plays for most of the songs on that channel.
