A compilation of rare and unique songs that blend rock and soul grooves with pop songs sung in the traditional scales of Okinawa, a southern island of Japan. This compilation is based on the 2003 release in Japan that created quite a buzz, "Ryukyu Rare Groove," and it's 2006 sequel, "Ryukyu Rare Groove 2." This updated edition features carefully selected tracks from the original releases, along with new songs. It includes 14 tropical groove tracks from notable artists such as the iconic Yara Families, the pioneer of Okinawan folk rock Shokichi Kina, and Mitsuko Sawamura, who transitioned from Okinawa to American musical films.
