A fine arrangement of this traditional Japanese fishing song originally used to keep the fishermen in time together as they send the boats out to sea, haul the nets, fold the sails, and load the catch. With lyrics coming from an old fishermen's dialect from the coast of Hokkaido in Japan, bushi' means "folk song" and hai hai' means "yes, yes," while the word soren' is used to mark time. An engaging work, excellent for teaching the pentatonic scale.
