In a market flooded with Okinawan compilations (dare we say, following the success of the Rough Guide to Okinawa) Ryukyu-teki has been one of the better series, bringing together some of the biggest names of the Okinawan roots music scene. This 2 CD collection has some of those biggest names, including Shokichi Kina and Champoose (Hana), Nenes (Heiwa no Ryuka, Akemodoro, Ogon no Hana, Bye Bye Okinawa), Rinken Band (Arigato, Murikaroku Bushi, Kampai Sabira) as well as the Boom's original version of Shima Uta, E- Ambe, Miyazawa's Okinawa ni Furu Yuki, Begin (Irayoi Tsuki Hama) and even Bird singing Warabi Gami. CD1. 14 tracks, CD2, 13 tracks.
