Lequios was one of the ways that Ryukyu was spelled by foreigners. Radio Lequios is a Brazilian internet radio site that plays Okinawan music. Lyrics are displayed with the music. Nice.

Hello All,
I will be contributing a series of entries on Okinawa; many of which have to do with Ryukyuan/Okinawan Music. Anyone familiar with music from Okinawa soon realizes that for such a small island, there sure is a wide breadth of music. One primary goal of this research is, to share with you, the depth of the indigenous lyrical poetry, called `Ryuka`, as well as the various beats and melodies of the taiko, Sanshin, and beyond… My name is Byron Jones. |
