Raised in the Danjiri traditionŌe Yutaka
Hiroshi Oe was born in Kishiwada City, Osaka.
Speaking of Kishiwada, the Danjiri Festival is what it’s famous for above all, and among the somewhat rough-and-tumble men of Kishiwada, there are even those who devote their entire lives to this festival.
The piece themed around the local Kishiwada Danjiri Festival is “Danjiri Sodachi” (Raised by Danjiri).
As a festival song, it features a brisk vocal line.
The use of kobushi (ornamental vocal turns) is relatively limited, and most of the instances that do appear are sung while descending the scale, so in terms of enka technique, it can be considered on the easier side.
