Okinawa Tradition - ASADOYA YUNTA

ASADOYA YUNTA
The island of traditional music, Okinawa, is the focus of this new library. The disc is packed with the sounds of traditional Okinawan instruments, folk songs, and Hayashi (shouts).

A symbol of Okinawan tradition, the Sanshin, is an instrument used to create mystical sounds. The Sanba, known as Ryukyu castanet, punctuates the rhythms, while the Fue (flute), Yubi Fue (flute), and Taiko (drum), and vocals complete the complex, rich texture of the genre.

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!!!

[DiscoverySound]

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.

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 ;)

Hey this is great! Good old DiscoverySound! Are you still up in Hokkaido ? I like the Okinawa folk songs ! Sometimes I play them on my Shamisen too! I've heard other Tsugaru Shamisen players say that it is difficult but I don't usually have a problem with them since its mostly just a matter of translating major key tonalities onto the futozao Shamisen. I find the Okinawa melodies to actually be rather fun to play! Anyway hope to talk to ya soon!

I'm a native speaker of regular Japanese and I think this is a mix of Okinawan and old Japanese.

[angmorlorable]

Im from Spainh and I practise karate do. This is a good son for my because I will go to Okinawa to practise Karate do !!!!?

[MINGESELLE299]

Is this song in Okinawan or regular Japanese? Sorry I'm not good at telling the difference.

[Shyb0y1988]

i want to go to your paradise.. and you are beautiful just like okinawa...

[LittleMsMadness]

Thank you for posting this, it is beautiful. I have only been in America for two years but I miss home so much. This song brings back wonderful memories of Okinawa. I want to go back so badly. I was raised there, it was pure paradise.

[Reiser322]

this song reminds me of my grandfather who was born in okinawa. even though okinawa now belongs to japan i dont want to stop considering myself okinawan :) :)
