Amami dialects, folktales, and traditions, although recognizable to someone familiar with Japanese culture, reflect the islands' historical separation. Folk Songs of the Amami Islands presents several individual vocal performances accompanied by the jyabisen, a three-stringed plucked lute. Along with songs recounting various folktales and customs, there are also lullabies and children's songs sung unaccompanied by some performers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Waka R?Sho \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Shigin \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Asabana Hayari Bushi \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Shumichi Nagahama \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Ima Nu Kazekumo \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Mochi Morai Uta \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Yerabu Yuri No Hana \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Shima Sodachi \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Rankan Bashi Bushi \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Two Children's Songs \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Ito Kuri Bushi \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Ichikya Bushi \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Yerabu Nagkumo Bushi \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Umi No Sasakusa \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Bon Odori \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Bo Odori \u003cbr\u003e1.17 Hachigatsu Odori \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Te Odori\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Various Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32456058961991,"sku":"16941762","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/1506263.jpg?v=1747362194","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/various-artists-amami-islands-japan-various","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
