Hi, Rikki is a contemporary Okinawan/Ryukyuan folk singer. She also sings pop music. In case you don't know, the Ryukyu islands are a group of islands south of the main islands of Japan. They are noted for having their own unique culture, and in particular, a well developed musical tradition. Okinawa is the largest of the islands. Rikki herself is actually from the island of Amami. If you like this, then search for "Rikki" or "Okinawan folk music". I hope this helps!
@Chichiri520 Thanks a lot for the information. Do you know the names of some singers who use the style? This type of music is unfortunately very hard to come by in the West . . .
You can search for Ikue Asazaki, Shingo Maeyama, Anna Sato, Kazuhiro Takeshita. Although of them sing Amami folk music, their voices are very unique and just sublimely beautiful. If you search the "Amami/Japan" section on farsidemusic [DOT] com (I'm in no way affiliated with them), you can listen to various samples of this music.
It's music from the Amami islands, islands south of Japan. You can search 奄美民謡 (Amami minyo; Amami folk music) and 奄美三味線 (Amami shamisen; shamisen is the stringed instrument you hear in the background). You can also search for 'Rikki,' there are more amazing songs sung by her.
Wow! What a wonderful melody and sound. I do appreciate traditional Japanese music. Thanks for sharing.
歌声気持ち良すぎだろ！！
