Okinawa Tradition - ASADOYA YUNTA

www.discoveryso...
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.

[@darrensmith3418]

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!

[@Yoyoyoyoasshole]

🙏

[@urphakeandgey6308]

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

[@sniperwolf7]

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.

[@playbunny99]

💖⚡✨ Same Feelings here

[@juhltone1]

Magical place💕💕🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@Deeoki5]

I live in Okinawa,Japan. and omg! i love the festivals there when they play the samishenn! im a proud half okinawan american :)

[@Xeldiane]

I lived in Okinawa for one year and this brings back many heartwarming memories ❤️ it's beautiful to see how Okinawa always stay in your heart even years after. I want to go back!

[@sunduncan1151]

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.

[@Lavabun]

Thumbs Up For Thailand too!

[@alexanderzarikov9916]

I like it! sounds relaxed (to me)😌 I love Okinawan (Ryukyuan) music, culture and language(s) from Germany 🇩🇪 and I want to visit these beautiful islands

[@Reiser322]

[@napoleonjunior04]

Thank you for posting this, it is beautiful. I have only been in America for two years but I miss home so much. This song brings back wonderful memories of Okinawa. I want to go back so badly. I was raised there, it was pure paradise.

[@MrWarriorsMom]

I love everything about Okinawa. I don't know if there's something in the water, but once you've been there, no other place feels quite as beautiful, peaceful, and welcoming. I wish we had stayed there.

[@keikonakayama7962]

[@christaiki]

[@rika1771]

[@IdrilSilmaure]

Recently got so into Okinawan music. This is one of the most beautiful songs..

[@Saiyan_West]

such relaxing music, so calming, so gentle, and so soothing, love it. really perfect if you came back from work or school and your really stressed out, this calms me right away!!! love the music!!

[@johnnywilliams3623]

I lived on the Island 97-01 I will return one day!

[@Meleneses]

I love okinawan music

[@McMilesE]

I've listened to this everyday for the past week, I love it. I don't usually like traditional asian music elements infused with a modern feel, but this is amazing.

[@ikbenmehmet999]

It's so _relaxing_.

[@LakanBanwa]

Miles McKinley All or most of western music is basically what was there in the past, fused with a "modern feel". This is no different.

[@alfeiroful]

Arigatou okinawa!

[@ninard2236]

as a big resemblance amongst traditional folk songs around the globe in every corner of it's islands, the act of singing are like chanting, it was to charm the inner consciousness like meditating and trance state

[@vocalbc]

I love Ryukyuan music. Brava!

[@nessiebwur]

Arigatou gosaimasu..... I'm back home now thanks to your music.....

[@TroyNaumu808]

I love this music, so relaxing.

[@mtbdh1959]

It's much better than the “Asadoya yunta” I've heard so far.

[@newjoyyork]

RIGHT? I love this ballad type vs the more pop/upbeat versions.

[@LittleMsMadness]

I know what you mean :( I'd give anything to go back. I think its the fact that okinawans are so in touch with their culture and have strong ties with nature...it makes everything so peaceful

[@dudafp]

Muito lindo! Very beautiful! I feel like home in Okinawa. It looks like the northeast of Brazil in many aspects.

[@joalexsg9741]

This is simply perfect!!! Thank you so much for uploading this cultural treasure here, sharing!!!!

[@hbkpagliaruso]

okinawa is amazing! one day I'll go! :) Wonderful !

[@newyoungsgi]

It's a traditional song, one of the most known. Exactly for that is so unique.

[@HumblePilgrim1]

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.

[@kyloren1089]

Definitely have a "life" given the fact they live the longest here! If only I grew up here!

[@marlenyarocabucuru298]

Fantástico!

[@emanuellefernandes2872]

Who's singing "Asadoya Yunta"? Who's the artist? This is the best version (my opinion)

[@maldission]

I love this song!

[@TheGACKTfan]

one of my favorite japanese musicians is from okinawa

[@mthirugnana]

This is one of the most melodious songs I have heard. Reminds me of a sweet Indian Raga.

[@nanlani]

Thank you for your immediate response..passing the video on to the rest of the family. Hawaii has a big Okinawan population. Good evening to you...

[@HumblePilgrim1]

Your words are so sincere and special that I have to acknowledge them and the effect they must have on people who watch this. I've always been fond of this traditional jewel from beautiful and noble Okinawa...but your "meditation" on the significance of the song brings fresh whole meaning and sentiment to it. We do not know each other, but you have made my day. Thank you, and thank you for this Discovery Sound. :)

[@kelekoliomaka8772]

yeahhhh Okinawa anadsoso, I always sing over Tokushima Osaka, Nagasaki, Kakawa and some places I can't remember it's familiar sounds like HAWAII. Arikatokoshaimasita,

i want to go to your paradise.. and you are beautiful just like okinawa...

Okinawa música tradicional nipona muy linda

[@kargad3]

My second home. I love you Okinawa. xozone

[@DiscoverySound]

Karen Sue Okinawa loves you too.

[@kargad3]

xo Okinawan elders would make a fist and tape on their chest gently and say, "Okinawans have a good heart". It's true, they do. xozone

[@kargad3]

When I went through the caves (Peace Park) and came out weeping, there were older ladies sitting on the park benches sipping Pepsi or Coca-Cola. They saw me weeping and told me, "It's ok". Even if it caused me pain, I am thankful for all I have learned. xozone

[@slojogojo2766]

I remember that music my mom would play it on the stereo record player or you would hear it in Okinawan cab ! This is a more modern version.

[@chinook283]

Much love for Okinawa and the awesome people I met. I LOVE you guys, SHI SA!

[@marijomichel7419]

Omedeto Okinawa !

[@DiscoverySound]

@tamashii14 It is a sampler. The above song is just a demo I made for the sampler. There is a link in the description to the song on itunes. I am really glad my music could make you happy.

[@TGDCChannel]

"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.

[@gildean4]

Syafiq Amir actually there is no yaeyama island. Yaeyama is a group of islands Okinawa included. Iromote, ishigaki and yonaguni being the southern islands of the Yaeyama island chain. Each island has its own distinct dialect.

[@vet2640]

Whatever the case may be Syafiq Amir, I am Okinawa, Don’t tell me what I am.

[@vet2640]

@Islander Local Tell that to my parents and grandparents

[@Okinawa951]

[@inthebluehour2948]

Clams Casino samples this in Human. Great stuff

[@LittleMsMadness]

Go to Okinawa first chance you get, but be warned you may not want to leave. My biggest regret in life is leaving. All the sadness I felt in Oki when I went through certain hardships are nothing compared to the sadness I feel being away from the Island.

[@juanmanuelgranadosdavila4984]

Is it a love song?. Nice music to dance as a couple.

[@nanlani]

Wow, thank you HumblePilgrim1, you just reciprocated the same; made my day with your reply. Life is beautiful isn't it? Imagine the sound of a 3 string instrument has opened a friendship between two strangers..ha! The power of a shamisen~beautiful! My dad was an invalid at a young age and spent most of his days in bed playing the shamisen. I will hold his music close to my heart and take it to the grave with me~Thanks again~a lovely day I send your way~:D

[@HollowIchigo3D]

I listen to Okinawa Folk often when I am pissed of, in rage or having other problems... and when listening to it I just start to forget every problem and just calm down and see toward the future! That is what I call real music, not Rap or that shit ._.

[@staceymartin4090]

when my brother was the military he was stashond in Okinawa Japan that's were I'm from

[@garrettlees]

This is good stuff. Thank you, from San Diego :)

[@FiredEmpire]

I'm a native speaker of regular Japanese and I think this is a mix of Okinawan and old Japanese.

[@DiscoverySound]

@tokyopp Thanks for the comment. You can find my samples on Loopmasters for download or you can get the actual CD from my site. This was just a demo. There is so much more on the disc.

[@rodmuine]

Is the lady singing in this music video Kyoko Gushiken? The music in this video is very nice. Conjures sweet emotions within. Many of the songs on Ms Gushiken albums are Okinawan songs like this with dreamy-like modern music background... which gives it a beautiful musical dimension. I admire her for doing it.

[@tamashii14]

What beautiful music! I have never been to Okinawa but dream one day visiting it. This music really takes you there!! Is this part of an Album? Where can I get it!!!

[@TheGatitaCosmica]

Hi! I'm a singer, and I want to sing the original Yaeyaman lyrics of "Asadoya Yunta", but I've only found the Japanese ones. I'd be very grateful if somebody provided me those lyrics. Thanks!

Fantastic music! Where can buy the digital edition of this CD?

[@LittleMsMadness]

@tamashii14 Go to Okinawa, I lived there for 14 years and there is no where in the world like it. I would give anything to be able to go back.

[@nizzy8479]

🇨🇵❤️🎌

[@shamisendemon]

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!

It's called Hogan, but Okinawans do have a different dialect when they speak japanese. I never thought there was a difference between mainland and oki dialect till I went to tokyo haha

[@vasato13]

@orthant, No it's not. It's part of Japan.

[@ikapuchino]

[@MINGESELLE299]

Is this song in Okinawan or regular Japanese? Sorry I'm not good at telling the difference.

[@MizriaHex]

Can I use this song in a Japanese Artist video?

[@NidsRamirez]

where can I buy this c.d I had a c.d from Okinawa with exactly these songs but it got scratched years ago :(

[@DiscoverySound]

nidia ramirez You can download this song right from KZbin if you want. This is a song made from the sampling cd. You can make your own Okinawa feel with the disc.

[@NidsRamirez]

ok thanks you

[@DiscoverySound]

Hello. The fastest way to get it is download on loopmasters.com

[@troytakahahshi4128]

An old song for old people.

[@nagagwa52]

after spending several years on the beautiful island of Okinawa i can assure you that the Okinawans themselves admit to being politically tied to Japan. they wil be the first to tell you that they are Okinawans first and foremost and ,among the older Okinawans there is little love for the Japanese or the americans. There words not mine.
