Shoukichi Kina and Ry Cooder - Haisai Ojisan

Here's Shoukichi Kina & Champloose, Ry Cooder, Jim Keltner, Paul 'Wix' Wickens and The Chieftains at The Great Music Experience, Todai Ji, Japan in 1994. Another disparu. Kina wrote this song (Hey, man!) when he was 16. It became a hit for him in 1972, while he was in prison on a drugs charge. In 2004 he was elected to the House Of Councillors (the Upper House of the Japanese legislature). Well, well, well... www.rycooderstuff.co.uk

The first 5 seconds has to be the most joy-filled in any music video that I've ever seen!

Fell in love with Okinawa, its people and culture, in 1970 and have been enjoying the music ever since. Just proves you don't have to understand the words to totally enjoy the song. Love all the instruments and the background vocals always make me want to dance. Hooray for sharing this!
