100 OKI SONG

Okinawan songs loved through Moashibi have constantly been changing. The origin of the songs is to have fun together.

Moashibi is a custom that used to be held widely in Okinawa. “Mo” means field. Young men and women used to gather at the field or beach at night to enjoy songs and dances together over food and drink. It’s a contemporary meaning of “Konpa (joint party).” Moashibi was not just an opportunity for youngsters to mingle, but it also functioned as an important occasion to pass on folk songs, instrument skills, dances, folktales, and other cultural traditions. Many Okinawan musicians had fun in Moashibi and consequently honed their artistic skills by competing in improvising songs, writing the lyrics, and chants. It can be said that Moashibi worked as a driving force to create new folk songs one after another.
