Sounds Like Asian melodies and sounds combine with cutting edge beats and production. Shamisen echoes over subsonic bass, Okinawan singers blend with ambient sounds and cut up break beats. This is the sound of contemporary Okinawa. The blending of an ancient eastern culture and a modern westernized world. This is Ryukyu Underground.
