Minyo (Japanese Folk Song): 民謡
By Matsutoyo Kai 松豊会
Japanese accompanied Folk Singing Show.

MINYO- Folk songs point to the musical singing passed down for many generations as universal songs. While Japan had been a maritime country, it was also an agricultural country centered on rice farming. In Japan , work songs have been the mainstream of folk songs. Their lyrics often started with a prayer for a good harvest and prosperity. Folk songs have breathed in the lives of people in a free environment, with no need for special protection for a long time. Even in a narrow country such as Japan , from ancient times people have passed on many songs that were cherished in their local land and climate. The prayers of a true heart and old emotions have thus survived. Folk songs are a form of "encyclopedia" for understanding Japan , and one can think that singing folk songs contributes to bringing up Japanese people from childhood.
MATSUTOYO KAI- Our group, Matsutoyo Kai, was established in Northern California by Matsutoyo Sato in 1966 shortly after she arrived from Japan. For ten years Matsutoyo Kai was based in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 1976 Matsutoyo Sato moved to the Los Angeles area extending the reach of Matsutoyo Kai to the Southern California area, where it is now based. In 2006 Matsutoyo Kai became a nonprofit organization. Theprimary objective and purpose of Matsutoyo Kai shall be to pass on the Traditional Music of Japan and to create and leave a Japanese music Legacy. Part of that purpose is to provide instruction in singing, shamisen, taiko, and kane (bell) and to givepublic performances in Japanese Folk and Classical Music. With Matsutoyo Sato as Artistic Director we will continue to expand Matsutoyo Kai, keeping this rare "Art" of Japanese History alive.
MINYO STATION Est. 2008 - 風 の 行 方 'The Direction of the Wind' - 'The Direction of the Wind' Indicates the New Sound of Fusion Minyo- Japanese Folk Music- that is Created by the New Generation. Like, the Sound has been Blown from the East to the Rest, Instead of West! These members also carry the passion towards Music and we were given the opportunity by Matsutoyo Sato to share Minyo in a different style while keeping the traditional sounds.
It has become our mission, as many respected Minyo Groups in the United States, to embrace Minyo and to continuously move forward so we can learn more about Japan, the Daily Lives of People in the past, and the Beauty of Japan.
We live on this beautiful planet, Mother Earth, breathe the same air, and drink the same water. We are all brothers and sisters and members of the human family.
Life is a precious gift to enjoy, celebrate, and appreciate! Life is a choice, and we need to choose to be happy! We make things happen by wishing them! Ask, Believe, then Receive! Golden Rule: Treat others as you would like to be treated! Thank you!
I appreciate the people who can respect our differences and can treat others with respect, gratitude, good manner and positive attitude! Thank you for reading this note, and thank you for choosing to see my pictures and to watch my videos! Have a wonderful day to you all!

I went to the Japanese food Festival in Torrance on12//4/2010. My Mom was born in Kyoto 1928. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the exhibitions. Who are the two younger folk singers? They were really good as was the whole ensemble
