It makes me sad to think of the earth and know that the word "Traditional" means the world use to have cultures. Now we all dress the same and listen to the same music and the world revolves around money. And every once in a while, we all get to dress up and look "silly" and remember what we use to be, when we were human instead of cogs in a machine.
I lived on Okinawa for three years and had many chances to listen to music like this. Even still, though I was born in the US and am back, when I feel homesick it is for Okinawa. The culture, the people, it was all very beautiful.
What beautiful music! I have never been to Okinawa but dream one day visiting it. This music really takes you there!! Is this part of an Album? Where can I get it!!!
@tamashii14 It is a sampler. The above song is just a demo I made for the sampler. There is a link in the description to the song on itunes. I am really glad my music could make you happy.
With teary eyes I thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing my parents to me through your music. Parents were born in Hawaii and raised in Okinawa and both are deceased. The memories of them playing the shamisen and dancing are so clearly etched in my memory bank. Your music brought them to the forefront this evening as I watched your video and the chills ran down the back of my spine. You made me happy this evening and domo arigatou gozaimasu, Discovery Sound.
@nanlani Thank you for that beautiful comment. I am too touched that my music could touch someone. I don't usually get a lot of comments like that so you really made my day as well. Check your inbox ;)
very beautiful take on asadoya yunta. made me feel reconnected to my grandfather i never get to know fully... he passed on when i was a toddler... this song certainly is a way for me to connect with him..
one of my best songs all time hits,no matter how many times i listen its not enough theres a huge sadness happiness stories hidden inside the music for me.
Japan one of the best country in the planet, good people , rich culture, full of mystery,anyway guys and gals thanks for the post
lots and lots of love to the people of japan and to its culture
@85invaders I have found most folk songs to be hauntingly beautiful and elegant.. makes it ironic that no one knows who first came up with the music or lyrics in so many of these folk songs.. nowadays there's so much trash that come with the artist or songwriters' name..
The Boom's Shima Uta is also another great Okinawan song..
Sa kimi we nonaka no ibara no hana ka (sa yui yui) Kurete kaereba yarehoni hiki tomeru (mata Hari no chindara kanushama yo) Sa ureshi hazukashi ukina o tatete (sa Yui Yui) nushi wa shirayuri yarehoni mama naranu (mata hari no chindara kanshama yo) Sa takusa toru nara izayoi tsukiyo (sa yui yui) futari de kigane mo yarehoni mizu irazu (mata hari no chindara kanushama yo) Sa somete agemasho konji no kosode (sa Yui Yui) kakete okureyo nasake no tasuki (mata Hari no chindara kanushama yo)
@tokyopp Thanks for the comment. You can find my samples on Loopmasters for download or you can get the actual CD from my site. This was just a demo. There is so much more on the disc.

It's a traditional song, one of the most known. Exactly for that is so unique.
