あしび とぅいけー

“Ashibi Tuikee”
In Okinawa, this term refers to a grand event where a village showcases its culture to neighboring villages.

This one-hour mix is curated by Yuki Tanabe, a singer of Okinawan folk songs (Shimauta) and a radio personality based in Koza, Okinawa.

In the past, villages rarely interacted, each maintaining its own unique order and customs. It was during these rare exchanges that distinctive and individualistic music emerged, seen as extraordinary by outsiders.

The balance between isolation and exchange shapes the beauty of culture. This mix gathers voices and music that highlight this dynamic.

Exploring the brilliance of diverse cultures around the world allows you to break free from your origins and current place, soaring freely and lightly.
