The Paris Sanshin Club was established to promote different aspects of Okinawan culture, specifically through traditional music and dance, and by participating in cultural events related to Japanese culture.
Their repertoire includes solemn, festive, melancholic, and pop music, the unique show by Paris Sanshin Club and London Okinawa Sanshinkai reflects the specificity of Okinawan culture.
The Sanshin also guides the Eisa dance, mainly performed during the Obon festival. It represents a deep-rooted tradition in the island's culture, where dancers shake and bang their Taiko (Japanese drums) to pay tribute to the deceased. The Eisa choreography is from the Okinawan band SONDA Seinenkai.
