Music of Okinawa

The music of Okinawa is directly influenced by the music of the various countries surrounding Okinawa: the Japan, the China, the Indonesia and the Polynesia.

The music of Okinawa thus consists of a mixture of traditional musics. She traditionally reports the life of the rural people of Okinawa, working on the sugar cane cultures. Hirayasu accompanied by Bob Brozman recorded the most popular album of music of Okinawa: JIN JIN . We can hear a traditional instrument of Okinawa there: the Sanshin which is a lute covered with snakeskin comprising 3 cords.
