Скачать или смотреть Takashi Hirayasu & Ken Ohtake - Toshin Doi

In Okinawa, or in Japan for that matter, an audience is used to dancing Okinawan style to the Katcharsee tune Toshin Doi as a finale to a performance. Not, however, in Germany. Though Takashi Hirayasu had a good try to teach them!
TFF (Tanz and FolkFest) is Germany's biggest world and roots music festival. The picturesque town of Rudolstadt is situated in the former East Germany and the festival dates back to 1955. After reunification the festival continued in much the same vain, focusing on folk and dance music from Europe and increasingly around the world. In 2005, TFF featured about 60 groups playing on 20 stages to about 30,000 people. One of the most popular stages is the Stadtkirche, St. Andreas, the ornate city church. The church provides a spiritual atmosphere, and is especially well suited to acoustic performers.

From Okinawa, Takashi Hirayasu was a long time member of Shoukichi Kina's group Champloose. Equally adept at playing guitar in a rock band, or traditional Okinawan tunes on the sanshin, he has forged an international reputation, mainly through his collaborations with Bob Brozman. At TFF his sanshin was accompanied by the superb Japanese guitarist, Ken Ohtake.
