Song: Tankou Bushi
Info
Tankou Bushi is a Japanese folk song. Despite the term "fushi/bushi" found in its name, the rhythm is in swung, ondo style. It is a song about coal mining, and it refers to old Miike Mine in Kyushu. It is a common song used in Bon dances during the Bon Festival, and the dance that accompanies it depicts actions in mines, i.e. digging, pushing a cart, hanging a lantern, etc.
NOTE: Modern arrangements of Tankou Bushi replace the lyric "Miike Tankou" (Miike Mine) with "uchi no oyama", which means something more general like "our mountain" or "our plain", as Miike Mine is no longer in service, and the song is now played at Bon dances outside of Kyushu.
The song was recorded in Japan in 1932. The popular version is a commercial recording: Victor of Japan, MV-1 (JES-1041).
