兼村憲孝, 平良りん子, 山里ゆき子 - 捨てぃんなよー 初花

Review by Ali Mc

The album 捨てぃんなよー 初花 by 兼村憲孝, 平良りん子, and 山里ゆき子 is a delightful collection of songs that showcase the unique talents of each artist. The album features a mix of traditional Okinawan music and contemporary pop, creating a fusion that is both innovative and authentic.

The opening track, "初花," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its upbeat tempo and catchy melody. The vocals of all three artists blend seamlessly together, creating a harmonious sound that is both powerful and soothing.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "涙そうそう," a classic Japanese ballad that has been given a fresh new arrangement. The haunting vocals of 平良りん子 are particularly moving on this track, and the use of traditional Okinawan instruments adds an extra layer of depth and emotion.

Other highlights on the album include "沖縄ブルース," a bluesy number that showcases the gritty vocals of 兼村憲孝, and "花篝り," a beautiful ballad that features the delicate voice of 山里ゆき子.

Summary by Ali Mc

捨てぃんなよー 初花 is a wonderful album that celebrates the rich musical heritage of Okinawa while also pushing the boundaries of what is possible in contemporary music. Fans of traditional Japanese music and pop alike will find something to love on this album.
