Rinken Band is a popular music group from Okinawa, Japan, renowned for their vibrant blend of traditional Okinawan folk music with contemporary pop and rock influences. Formed by Rinken Teruya in 1983, the band has successfully introduced the unique sounds of the Okinawa region, such as the sanshin, a three-stringed instrument similar to a banjo, to a wider audience. Their music often reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Ryukyu Islands and has played a significant role in the resurgence and preservation of local Okinawan music.

Over the years, Rinken Band has released a plethora of albums that showcase their evolving sound, incorporating not only traditional melodies but also island-inspired rhythms, which captivate both local fans and international listeners. Their recent works, such as "GOLDEN☆BEST りんけんバンド," "URIZUN〜りんけんバンド ニューベスト," and "Qing-dahini," highlight their mastery in fusing the old with the new, creating a sound that is at once nostalgic and refreshingly modern. Through songs like "謝" (Shya), "パーリー" (Paarii), and "満天ぬ喜び" (Manten nu Yorokobi), Rinken Band celebrates the joys, sorrows, and the very essence of island life, their music a lasting testament to the spirit of Okinawa.
