7-inch single by Rinsho Kadekaru, the charismatic Okinawan Min'yō singer who has the voice of the soul who was called "the god of island songs" by the incomparable report writer Ro Takenaka, and Shuei Kohama, a childhood friend of Kadekaru who has teamed up with him in numerous works. The two singers' voices, which are so intertwined and breathy that you can almost say "this is the groove" are recorded nonstop along with sanshin. The B-side "Maenohama" is especially amazing.
あの無類のルポライター竹中労にして「島唄の神様」と言わしめた魂の唄声を聞かせる沖縄民謡のカリスマ嘉手苅林昌と嘉手苅とは幼馴染で幾多の作品でコンビを組む名人小浜守栄による7インチシングル。これぞグルーヴと言わんばかりの絡みつくように息のあった両者の唄声が三線と共にノンストップで収録。特にB面の”前之浜”が感動もの。
A - 高平万才
B - 前之浜
