    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.

    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.

      I'm sorry about the lost of your parents; I'm so happy that you found something that reminds you of special memories of them. It's wonderful when you find a song or music that can open your heart and put a smile on your face like that. May God bless your heart!

      It's not a shamisen. It's a sanshin. From one Okinawan to another.

      ​@@connieanderson-c3vI was born in Gushikawa-shi as well. 1998. Yeah, I'm still quite young. It's funny to think Gushikawa-shi doesn't exist anymore. It's now Uruma-shi.

    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.

    Greetings from Thailand. I really love Okinawa culture & people.
    Ryukyu (Thais call Liu Kiu) and Kingdom of Siam had commercial & cultural contacts since the early Ryukyu Kingdom. Awamori is made from Thai indica rice imported from Siam and Sanshin is also covered with Thai snake skin.
    Now I'm writing about history of Ryukyu for my Thai friends in a fascinating way so that they wont be bored. There's 3 parts: Relationship to Siam, Ming China, and birth of Karate. Place names in Uchinaaguchi are also mentioned to compare with Standard Japanese accent.

    In this they embrace everything like a blushing bride does her bouquet of freshly-cut roses...not minding thorns which pierce the most petite and delicate digits. Isn't it something, this transmission or connection still keeping your father and you together with good music acting as the conduit? It is much the same with me...from both my parents I've learned to love music as the soundtrack of my life.

    "Asadoya Yunta" is neither in Japanese or Okinawan. It is called Yaeyama language, spoken on the island of Yaeyama, Okinawa prefecture. All Ryukyuan languages are languages of it's own right and is recognised by the UN.

    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!
