■ Ando Umeko UPOPO SANKE CD & Oki Dub Ainu Band SOLO & Japan Traditional Folk Song Cassette Tape World Music


● Ando Umeko UPOPO SANKE / CD

A masterpiece of Ainu music released in 2003 by the master of the Ainu folk song Upopo and Mukkuri mouth harp.

The title "Upoposanke" means "Let's Sing a Song" in Ainu. Umeko Ando ( 1932-2004 )  is an Ainu musician from Hushikokotan, Obihiro, Hokkaido. Together with OKI from the Oki Dub Ainu Band, who participated in the recording, she sang the Ainu folk song Upopo. The call-and-response structure of many of the songs is performed in an elastic, breathy vocal style with a mantra-like quality. There seems to be a gentle smile on every note and syllable. This music gently touches the heart. Upoposanke" was recorded on a farm in Tokachi in the summer of 2003. Dogs barking, thunder rumbling in the distance, and voices imitating animals can be heard.
