Tadamaru Sakuragawa
Musical Artist
Who is Tadamaru Sakuragawa?
From Okinawa came the 'musical anarchist' Tadamaru Sakuragawa, who sang in a style called goshu ondo. With the backing of the now disbanded Spiritual Unity, Tadamaru broke out of the festival circuit with his only album, Ullambana, released in 1991. Ullambana is a Sanskrit word that refers to a Buddhism sutra, and is the origin of the Japanese word Urabonne whose shortened form Bon or Obon is now widely used throughout Japan. Tadamaru's music is characterized as a radical new workout of summer festival music from Kansai area of Japan.
The song Yui Maru Bushi from the album can be found here:
