Amazing Grace on sanshin, at Paikaji

It's getting very warm these days and I think Okinawan music is good for this weather.

There is a traditional looking restaurant of Okinawan cuisine near Fukui station, on Kinanosho-Dori street.

The restaurant's name is "Paikaji (meaning south wind)", and the Okinawan music live shows are often held there.

Here I put a short clip of rare pieces from such a show.

Inami, the second daughter of Paikaji family, is singing a well-known gospel song "Amazing Grace" in the style of Okinawan traditional music.

Full length videos from their stage will be uploaded soon.
