Good compilation of 'relaxin' Okinawan ballads performed by mostly young artists. Avoids the new age pitfalls, with some of the cream of the roots music scene. Artists include the omnipresent Toru Tonaha, from Miyako island Isamu Shimoji, female singer Chihiro Kamiya, young shamisen player accompanied by piano Suguru Ikeda, the relative vetaran Yukito Ara, from Amami island, young star Kohsuke Atari, duos Acoustic M and Tingara and Uru.
