『Rinken Band』 was formed by the leader, Rinken Teruya in 1977. The band intruduced a new genre to the music scene. A unique combination of traditional Okinawan instruments, sanshin, shimadaiko, and modern intruments of percussion, keyboard and base, the band created “Okinawa pop”.
●Attraction of the live performance
Pop and dynamic. Distinctive and exciting Okinawan rhythm. Pure and beautiful voice. Colorful, dynamic costume and powerful dance. The venue is filled with tropical fervor that audiences and the stage coupled with “Kachashi”.
