From classic folk dance tunes to hidden gems. Introducing recommended songs! (61–70)
Tzadik Katamar
In Israeli dance, the title is said to mean “The righteous will flourish like the date palm.” It’s a dance that’s fun with many people, and the choreography is very simple.
As you shift the flow of movement to the right and to the left while dancing, it seems you can enjoy a sense of fun similar to Mayim Mayim.
Rosalia of the Mountain
The original song is called Aleksandrovski and there is a theory that the name honors Emperor Alexander II.
In Japan, Japanese lyrics were added and it was covered by groups such as The Three Graces and Dark Ducks.
In Russia, there is a “ballroom-style” folk dance that imitates court dances, and one of these is said to be Aleksandrovski.
Let’s dance, fun Polechke!
Often sung in Japanese as well, this song is originally based on the Polish folk tune “Polka.” A polka is a type of folk dance characterized by a fast tempo in 2/4 time, but in Japan this song is often performed as a waltz.
It has a charming feel, evoking the image of people dancing in traditional costumes.
Hora MedraJoel Walbe
The title means the “Ho-ra!” shouted at campfires.
It’s a lively song with energetic calls.
Basic formations from the V position and W position to the grapevine are used as fundamentals.
It was also included on the private railway line’s 5th anniversary commemorative record.
Kiss, kiss, kiss.Osubaludofaresu
The title means “Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps.” These lyrics are written from a male perspective, expressing the melancholy of asking the woman he loves about her preferences and only ever getting “perhaps” in response.
In Japan, it is also known as one of Ai George’s signature songs.
Gavottegosekku
First of all, a gavotte is a general term referring to a folk dance from regions of France and the classical dance pieces derived from it.
It is characterized by being written in either 4/4 or 2/2 time.
In principle, many begin on the downbeat of the measure, and the famous gavotte in question is a typical example of this.
Gustavs Skor
This piece is a Swedish folk dance named after King Gustav II Adolf, from the period when 17th-century Sweden was at its zenith.
Originally, it was an elegant court dance performed by the nobility, but it later spread among commoners as a folk dance.
As a result, the piece is said to have evolved into a two-part structure: the first half in an aristocratic style and the second half in a peasant style.
