Seijin Noborikawa, one of the leading singers of Okinawan Min'yō. Also a master of the sanshin, he is known for his rapid-fire playing and for using a pick to play the instrument, earning him the nickname “Okinawa's Jimi Hendrix”. He is a pillar of Min'yō song world who has contributed to its development in every way, including modifying instruments and incorporating them into Min'yō songs. This single features “Takadeera Manzai” on the A-side, a dance performed by top-ranking officials that combines the “Kuduchi,” “Manzai Cufusu-bushi,” “Ufunshari-bushi” and “Sensuru-bushi”. The song unfolds with a solid, grounded presence that can truly be called a masterful performance. The B-side also features “Yaeji no Manzai” a dance piece epitomized by Seijin Nobukawa. Both tracks are wonderful.
沖縄民謡を代表する歌い手のひとり登川誠仁。三線の名手でもあり早弾きを得意としピックを使って三線を演奏する「沖縄のジミヘン」の異名を持ち、また楽器を改良して民謡に取り入れるなどあらゆる面で民謡の発展に貢献してきた重鎮。このシングルでは口説、万才カフス節、ウフンシャリ節、センスル節を組み合わせた最高幹部が踊るという”高平万才”をA面いっぱいに収録。まさに名人芸と言えるどっしりと構えた唄が進んでいきます。B面のこちらでも登川誠仁の代表する舞踏曲”八重路の万才”を収録。どちらも素晴らしいです。
A - 高平万才
B - 八重路の万才
