Beyond the Wall of Okinawa 05-18-11

My friend Patrick Robison co-hosts and introduces us to a world of Okinawan and Japanese folk music featuring the sanshin, a three-stringed banjo-like instrument native to Okinawa. Patrick even treats us to a live performance at the end of the show. If you think this is a big departure from the regular programming, listen to the show. There's songs about jilted lovers and skeletal hauntings aplenty. stream or Download.
