The compilation album "Ryukyu Rare Groove" has become a hot topic as many people have become addicted to its unique groove, which combines Okinawan scales and traditional Okinawan music with Western music arrangements. Now, a renewed version of this compilation is available on vinyl!
In addition to the best selections from 2003's "Ryukyu Rare Groove" and 2006's "Ryukyu Rare Groove 2," new songs are also included.
The album includes 14 precious tropical groove songs, including songs by the Yara Families, who are the symbol of this series, as well as songs by the originator of island rock, Shokichi Kina, and jazz singer Teiko Saito (Teiko Taira), who released her debut album at the age of 86 in 2022 and became a hot topic. In addition, "Ryukyu Rare Groove Crossover," a selection of jazz arrangements of Okinawan melodies and folk songs, will also be released at the same time.
