Usually ships within 1-5 business days. [New, unopened item] Media coverage reviews, etc. His first studio-recorded solo album in 14 years, known as a master of Shimauta. Although the performance is simple with sanshin + vocals + guests, it doesn't bore the listener with the depth only a veteran can provide. Includes 13 songs in total, including the famous song "Unjuga Jodo Tanomariru". -- From the "CD Journal" database. When I hear Sadato Chihana, what immediately comes to mind is his debut album "Akahana" (1978), but this is his first solo studio album since "Shima Uta" in 1991. The album, titled "Utamai," meaning "Won't you sing together with me?", features lyrical Okinawan folk songs, including the nostalgic "Umi nu Chinboraa". Guided by Uchinaguchi (Okinawan dialect), the humorous aspects of erotic songs reflecting a sense of southern openness and skillful songs protesting authority are compelling and pleasant, like the ebb and flow of the tide. While "Jinto Yo Waltz" by Ne Ne's, which he also produced, is impressive, the exquisite resonance between modern times and classical folk songs in Chihana's own lyrics and composition, "Unjuga Jodo Tanomariru," is wonderful. This album evokes a scene where his past ambition to actively engage with reggae has accumulated over the years, converging into a deeply flavorful world. (Shunichi Otaka) --- July 2005 issue -- From "CD Journal Review" Product Description A studio-recorded solo album by Shimauta master Sadato Chihana, his first in 14 years. Please enjoy his singing and sanshin playing, imbued with mature, deep richness and flavor. [About the Artist] Sadato Chihana, a leading figure in the Okinawan folk music scene, continues to be active at the forefront. His previous solo studio album was released in 1991 as "Shima Uta," and new releases have been eagerly awaited. This year, as he approaches his 60th birthday, we wanted to deliver Sadato Chihana's Shimauta. This work was born from the idea of creating a simple yet powerful album composed solely of sanshin, vocals, and shima-daiko.
