Songs of Yaeyama Islands
Seven Seas/King Records (Japan) 1982

media : EX/EX-(some slightly surface noises.

This is an album of Yaeyama folk songs released in 1982 from the series "Folk Music Library" planned by King Records in the early 80's. It contains a total of 18 folk songs from the Yaeyama region centering on Ishigaki Island, Okinawa, Miyako, and Amami in Kagoshima, all of which share a common cultural root. The songs are from elatively familiar, such as "Asatoya-bushi," which is the original song of "Asatoya Yunta," and the entire collection offers a variety of folk songs that have something in common but also have a unique flavor of each of the islands. There are many good pieces in this series, but this is one of the most interesting of them all. Highly recommended.
