[kataibusaibiin]

Ukwanshin Kabudan continues its Umanchu Suruti Online series. Next presentation is this Friday, April 24, 2020, from 7pm HST.  We will be hearing from Norman Kaneshiro shinshii and Keith Nakaganeku shinshii regarding their experiences learning classical sanshin from issei masters.  It is both an honor and a pleasure to be one of their current students. As such, I am looking forward to this presentation and hope many fellow Shimanchu will join us. It has been amazing to have many Shimanchu / Uchinaanchu from all across the world joining us and we look forward to seeing friends new and old joining us again for this presentation! For more info about Friday or this ongoing series, please follow Ukwanshin on their facebook page or feel free to message me for the link to join us on Zoom.  ...

The Living Legacy of Nomura-Ryu Ufubushi in Hawai’i (Learning the Art of Okinawan Classical Music)

Uta Sanshin has always played an integral part in the lives of Okinawa’s people. It was recorded in historical journals that the “sanshin instrument holds an honored place in the Ryuukyuuan home as it is displayed proudly in the tokonoma.” Norman Kaneshiro and Keith Nakaganeku will take you on a journey with their music and stories of their experiences growing up learning from great issei (first generation) masters whose legacy they continue today.
