One of the best compilations I've ever heard. Traditional Okinawan folk melodies performed with jazz/funk instruments. Hearing this for the first time was like discovering a new primary colour. Includes five different arrangements of the ever-enchanting lively "Tanchame", and they all sound wonderful. Most outstanding is the utterly gorgeous three-part "Ryukyu Miyabi", taken from Kiyoshi Yamaya's 1976 album Ryukyu. Pure pentatonic bliss.
