From Ryūkyū to the Sagrada Familia: Dance and Music of Okinawa

The traditional performing arts of Ryūkyū, passed down since the days of the Ryūkyū Kingdom, take center stage in this unique recital presented by sisters Riko Sugama and Rita Sugama.

In front of such a special place as the Sagrada Familia, the artists will bring to life the dances and songs nurtured in Okinawa, the southern islands of Japan, cultivated over centuries of cultural exchange with various places in Asia.

Their elegant performances, featuring refined traditional costumes and singing that is both delicate and deeply moving, will create a warm universe filled with sunlight, sea breezes, and the radiant beauty of Okinawa.
