Lovely music of my heritage, how fortunate I am to have been placed on this earth as a Uchinanchu.

Okinawa is very far from my home but I feel very close listening and admiring it's folk songs. I'd love to play the sanshin also. When you want to open your ears and heart ... this is a tiny world !

I'm Sudanese (African country) and somehow I really enjoy this music

Saw a comment elsewhere on the Internet where someone was talking about getting really into traditional Okinawan folk music, so I went searching and found this. Definitely worth the search. Thanks for sharing.
