Music of the Ainu Native People of North Japan

- Ainu music is the musical tradition of the Ainu people of northern Japan. The oral Ainu culture includes various genres, of which upopo, lighthearted ballads on daily affairs and rituals often accompanied by traditional Ainu instruments, and yukar (mimicry), a form of rhythmic epic poetry often supported by light percussion, are most prominently covered in writings on this oral Ainu culture. The contents of these ballads were an important source of understanding daily life as well as various traditions and habits of the Ainu people.
Ainu music carries spiritual resonance in almost all of its forms, and it has played an important role in both the cultural history and the cultural renaissance of the Ainu people. Almost every type of Ainu song is sacred. Traditional Ainu music can be divided into two major groups, everyday songs and epic songs. Everyday songs in Ainu tradition were sung in many situations and on an impromptu basis. They were often accompanied by the two most prevalent Ainu musical instruments: the tonkori, a plucked zither, and the mukkuri, a jaw harp played by women.

Music is an expression of human creativity. UNESCO reports that among all the performing arts, music is the most universal and is found in every society, most often as an integral part of other performing art forms and other domains of intangible cultural heritage.
Traditional forms of music are considered carriers of cultural heritage because they represent expressions and traditions transferred through generations of a community.
With recordings from more than hundred nations our collection of traditional music offers a staggering diversity of our humanity.

hello, i am half ainu and proud, ainu are paleo-mongoloid. pure ainu had lighter skin. but we are not caucasoid. our next relatives are native americans and tibetans. origin is siberia or tibet. others say central-asia.
autosomal DNA show ainu are related to modern japanese, siberians and native americans
thank you for sharing this information it was really exciting to read :) i see the run in my head how these people's ancestors moved to America.
Hello if you are half ainu can you help me please, I am searching for a yukara called sword legend, can you help me please?
I think Caucasoid admixture is probably present, and DNA tests made by people who want to avoid that possibility aren't particularly trustworthy, or DNA tests are not as reliable as we think they are. No chance of admixture with Caucasoid communities from Siberia all the way to Japan? I find that hard to believe.
The fact everybody HAS to mention how the Ainu are not mixed with Caucasians is a clear indication there is a bias against that possibility.
@@sophiaperennis2360 I think the fact that a lot of people mention how the Ainu are not mixed with Caucasians is because it was commonly believed in the past before DNA testing became a thing, so it's a longstanding myth that's been debunked. It's not because they having something against being related to Caucasians. If there was a chance of admixture from Siberia all the way to Japan, (which there may have been), how would it be more significant than the Caucasoid admixture in every other population along the entire route? The important part is the amount of admixture. DNA studies have shown that the Ainu are actually closely related to Southeast Asians and Siberians rather than anyone else.
All people originated from Africa so we're all related.
The ancestors of the Ainu (and Jomon) are descedants of an ancient paleolithic population somewhere in Central Asia or Siberia. They arrived in Japan and southeastern Russia more than 30,000 years ago and possibly also migrated into parts of northern America. This paleolithic population was distantly related to Europeans, Middle Easterners and Native Americans (ancestral northeurasian component). Keep well.
i thought the haplogroup d migrated from africa to around india and tibet, and some of these haplogroup d peoples migrated to japan through a land bridge with korea, and they formed the modern ainu people after intermixing with some nivkh and yamato people
It seems like academia can't make up their mind. Some say it was only 14,000 years. Also, a few researchers say the ancient jomon were very black with kinky hair....but now all the genetics companies are saying they were light skin with with straight hair. All the genetics companies are owned by israel. And they are not good reflections of indigenous or pacific peoples. they say hawaiian isn't a race....
During the rise of nationalism in Japan in the early 20th century, the Ainu were discriminated by the Japanese. They were not allowed to speak their native languages and went to school where they learnt Japanese. Most Ainu traditions were banned during that period, it is nice to see that the Ainu people are living on and may they be blessed with their wonderful culture, language and music!
this is very similar to native American tribal music. Interesting
Marcelo Lima The native people of the americas descend from siberian and eastasian peoples but that is not necessarily the reason for similarity in music. perhaps similar hardships and joys result in similar passions revealing themselves in music

If you look at oral histories in the Pacific Northwest about the bearded men in their big canoes who come down from the Aleutian islands to the North - and contrast this with stories the Kamchatka Ainu have from their time being enslaved by the Russians in the 17th century and being forced to work with the Aleut an interesting cultural picture emerges. Similarities between the Jomon people and the societies of the Pacific Northwest have long been noted; Kenniwick man found in Oregon has been claimed to be the remains of a Jomon or Ainu man by some geneticists (largely to avoid repatriation laws of course) but the fact remains that both groups claim to have been in contact, and indigenous ties between the Ainu, Pacific Islanders and the Pacific Northwest in America are being made to this day, with the consensus among the tribes that they've been in contact for millennia, even if White Societies naively look askance on oral history as reliable sources of any evidence whatsoever. Whatever the case may be, most of the history of the Pacific has been ignored by Anglos and Japanese in recent history, at their own loss quite frankly
John Kausch The northernmost tribes of the Pacific Northwest, the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian, definitely had contact and traded with the Chukchi and Koryak peoples of eastern Siberia, and possibly the Ainu as well. I've never heard of the bearded men myth you described, do you know which tribe/nation it's specifically from? The bearded men signifies the Ainu, I assume, since they're hairier than neighboring ethnic groups.
I'm fairly certain the story he is referencing is referring to the Russians, not the Ainu. I've never heard of the story either but I believe his reference to it was to show that the PNW indigenous tribes got these stories indirectly from the Kamchatka Ainu, who were referencing the Russians who enslaved them. I could be misinterpreting what he meant, though.
This channel is a gem.
im so glad to be Kuril ainu and see my people grow more long live ainu
Golden kamuy really brings this culture to life
Agreed😆
I am part Ainu. Thank you for sharing this :)
What part of you is ainu?
@@te9591 my maternal side... my mother's side is from Hokkaido :)
nice me too! im kuril ainu mix
Im 100% native american according on my dna results and thanks for sharing this culture very interesting the women in the back look very indigenous american. Some of the men as well interesting definitely a contact between siberian and pacific island brothers sisters
Wow this is very relaxing and very real. I felt this in my soul...
I respect to them innocent with their peaceful heart.
@@salvatoreindelicato9368 you know that they don't care of what you or others say and will carry on theyr tradition?
their traditional hunting practices were very brutal, but of course that doesn't justify ethnic discrimination
This made me feel like I was surrounded by warm friendly people at night around a fire 🔥♥️

Greetings to the old days of japan🇯🇵 from 🇺🇸
If you wear headphones, it'll sound like they are in the same room as you. I can see(hear) their hand claps.
It was super wierd to me at the start because I kept having to stop and check that the sound wasn't being redirected out some other speakers!
Very shamanic..sounds like amazonian chanting..
their "huy huy" is very similar to Okinawa "hoi hoi"
But don't you think what "huy huy" is very similar to in Russian...
@@mahatma1602 😆
Ryukyu and Okinawa people are actually closer to the Ainu instead of the Japanese! So its probably from the same roots
@@mahatma1602 ХУЙ ХУЙ
It might have been a really old predecessor to kakegoe
Ainu music obviously influenced early Japanese music, they adopted the same musical rhythmic pattern and framework. So modern trad. Japanese music is influenced by Ainu music!
Tonny Dong c'est une manière de subsister
It sounds like most Siberian folk music.
Linguistically speaking. Ainu is more close to siberian and northern languages, not at all with Japanese. That's why
Çingiz xan yadına gəlir ?
Is sound Greek old music
You can't really pin it down to any one sound. The Jew's harp and rhythmic meter sound like Siberian or Turkic folk music, the polyphonic singing sounds like certain forms of African warbling, and the down-notes and cries sound Athabaskan. It's alien-yet-familiar all at the same time.
Desde antaño, los Ainus cantan y danzan en sus ceremonias y durante sus celebraciones y rituales tanto familiares como de ámbito comunitario. Cantan y danzan en sus plegarias y cuando narran leyendas en la esfera doméstica o entre amigos, e incluso durante las más diversas tareas cotidianas. Entonan, corean, imitan llamadas de animales o salmodian simples onomatopeyas que comparten con espíritus de ancestros o de la misma naturaleza. Salmodias beneficiosas para trascender el grupo en una polifonía acordada al relato común. Algo que podemos encontrar en otros confines de Europa, África, Asia, Oceanía o América, alejados en el mapa y tan cercanos en una misma humanidad… Cantar juntos para relatarse y vincularse en una voz plural y común que se arraiga en el tiempo para proyectarse en él más allá. De algo estoy cada vez más seguro, allende es capital para entender mejor cuanto cela aquende.
pedro a. cantero bonita reflexion, pero no entiendo eso de... "cela aquende"
Es sencillo: cuanto esconde lo de aquí
para entender mejor cuanto esconde lo de aquí.
Parabéns suas depoimento
Glad the translate option exists now in the comment section, I would have miss this.
メロディーが軽やかで素敵です!
this was very touching for me to see in my reccomended as an ainu , thank you for sharing
Omg this is my kitchen song :D i can hear the boiling soup in my mind...
This is something I could sleep peacefully to.
The Ainu’s music is something so simple yet so brilliant at the same time.
very calming and beautiful music. the beats are awesome and so relaxing.
It is very interesting listening to this music. This culture is slowly fading...
Thank you for uploading this cultural gem here!
Thank you for uploading! I need some more of this in my life. :)
Thanks for sharing this--beautiful music.
sounds like brasilian indians to me. Thanks for posting
Sim, verdade! Yes, that's true!
Just sounds like first americans' traditional chants
Look for the surce you far but in right way found the visitors from other place come to Brasil ---9000years ago
Thought about changing videos but I couldn’t stop listening to this pure and beautiful music. ❤️
Deeply soothing.
This is how it sounds when the soul sings :)
I have been carefully studying these people and watching their pics for years now. I have noticed two different races among the Ainu: one that "looks" like Mediterranean people, another that is more similar to Australian aborigins. The European looking one is now KNOWN not to be European or "Caucasian." The Japanese look different from other Asians b/c most have Ainu genes in them (just look at PM Shinzo Abe). Their music is definitely related to Native Americans'. And the ancient remains of Kennewick Man and Spirit Caveman (from the USA) were found to be "most similar to the Ainu." So these people were in Tibet, in Japan and in America for sure. It's a pretty large and diverse territory. Not so recently the ruins of Gobekli Tepe (Turkey) were found to be around 12K years old. The Yonaguni underwater ruins in Japan, obviously of human construction, are another very old relic, such as the huge stone blocks of Baalbek. All indicators of the existence of an ancient civilization. Plato in his book The Crithias told of the large island of Atlantis and its advanced civilization (pre-flood). Noah in the Bible was capable of building a large, complex ship to survive the flood, and he was a civilized man. The time of the flood according to Plato, pretty much coincides with the disappearance of the Megafauna in the world (about 11K years ago). AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST: In the Crithias, Plato talks about the island of Atlantis AND "a whole continent on the other side." !!! America, by any chance? If you are young, you may verify all these facts and continue the search. I have tried to summarize for you the main indicators I have found, relating the origin of the Ainu and their very possible link to the sunken island of Atlantis. America too, did "not exist" at one point and Columbus was "crazy" to go to "Asia" thru such a long path. It turned out not to be that long! So Plato DID NOT LIE and Columbus was not crazy: America after all, existed!
I dig it, thanks for all that hard work.
Amazing comment, thank you for your work and sharing!
I'm 1 percent Ainu
Listening to this kind of chanting makes me feel like joining their family gathering with communal dance at campfire...
Same
wow, awesome quality recording + awesome songs
you can see the evidence of human migration patterns in the music! I love it
Os Ainus ~são o verdadeiro Povo Nativo do Japão..Salve o Povo e a Cultura Indígena Ainu !
This music is so beautiful. I like it very much 😊😊😊🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🎌🎌🎌
I feel that the Ainu people would not like to be related to Japan after so much segregation
@@yancasado5049 at least he/she acknowledged the ainus
Kind of sad that Japanese see themselves all as one people.As a nationalist I understand the sentiment but the ainu people should continue to exist if any pure form of them exists now.They are a very interesting people and clearly genetically distinct from the Yamato people.
beautiful. thanks again!
Such sweet music.
Why does this sound familiar to my music of Navajo
because both originated in siberia
so beautiful!
Also very similar to the Sami of norway
Que música maravilhosa!
PODE CRÊ! LEMBRA VELVET UNDERGROUND
Qué música maravillosa ainú!
From algeria a see relation betwen music this people and aborigan and sebirian

Emocionante!
Sempre ao ver histórias e músicas de povos oprimidos me arrepio
THANK YOU
ahhh Hinna ~~~ Hinna~~~~
OMG how lovely
この言葉が適切かわかりませんが…アイヌの音楽には中毒性がありますね。感想を言語化するのが難しいですが、魂が揺さぶられる感じがします。
Gracias
this is a real banger ngl
It’s almost haunting.
Viaje astral.
I love them!!!!!
Ayyy they jamming 💃🏾
magical !
why am i spilling tears
Because this music is not interested in ratings or selling records. It is a direct communication from their soul to your soul. Something inside you recognizes these songs and knows the words and meaning of these songs. With that in mind, what more appropriate response could one have, but to weep? Thank you from Philadelphia
Is a curse to make people cry
same here cant stop crying
Because this is the music of a dying and traumatised people
There is a song that is traditional to my nation that is the Mi'kmaq welcome song and the honour song we must be connected by ancestors from long long ago since the way of singing is the same.
this is awesome
❤Wow💖
nice new profile pic
It is similar to Mordvin folk music.
Sort of. There are some Native Americans who sing like that, too, and others. The rhythm and harmonies are similar.
I love this
เพลงนี้ฟังเผินๆ ฉันนึกว่าฟังเพลงอิสานพื้นบ้านอยู่ แปลกดี
Does anybody know if there's a reason why only women sing?
Similar to siberians and nativa americans
I get that it is interesting to think where everyone originated but take a moment to just sit back and enjoy the music of this culture. Instead of wondering who’s who and what sound is what. You’re missing the point.

This music sounds *_a lot_* like traditional Korean music in terms of the musical scale and micro-tones that are used there!
It makes a lot of sense if you're familiar with the history of the region
I think, it's rather Mongolian traditional music than Korean.
myopinions Well, it *_kind of_* sounds like a bit of both traditional musics, but it _does_ sound a bit closer to traditional Korean music than traditional Mongolian music (even though both traditional musics sound somewhat similar to each other anyway, as _both_ traditional musics have been influenced by traditional Chinese music to various degrees in depending upon the region of each country/nation!).
Bullshit this sounds nothing like traditional Korean music. If anything it sounds closer to a mix of Japanese and Inuit / Paleo-Siberian music

huuuiiiii~ huuuy!

gather listen to the words the birds sing gather listen to the words the kuri sings for they are great we are great

Eskimo came from Hokkaido, the Ainu.

wow
Hinna!
Sounds not so much different from traditional japanese folklores, except for the languages totally incomprehensible.
I didn't know that Japan has native Japanese in a country
Well, there about about 3 types of people in Japan. The Yamato Japanese, Ainu & Ryukyu people.

Similar to Australian aboriginals
Effectivement nos ancêtres étaient chevelus mais ne ressemblaient pas aux asiatiques malgré qu ils étaient nés la bas !!
Me imagino que no son los barba de la foto...
Sounds like Ifugao music or Inca music

native american has Japanese blood in them. look at the music
CheekiBreekiPolski Ainu are Japanese...
arguable. They are the northern tribes who came from the now Russian Islands around the Sea of Okhotsk long before the modern Japanese came. They populated most of Northern Honshu until the Nara era and were pushed back to Hokkaido in the Kamakura era. Their language is different from Japanese. Musashi, which used to be the Edo area 1000 years before the Edo era, means "Marsh" in Ainu has no meaning in the Japanese language. They may way be related to tribes that crossed the land bridge to the Americas in the Ice age.
Andrew Murray they live in japan for longer than the now majority japanese culture, how are they less japenese?
Sure culturally they are they're different but that's like saying the aborigines are not australian in a way
+Gonçalo Martins they're talking about the japanese ethnic group tho, the one referred to as "Yamato people".
@@MrDanygonc Japanese are not native to Japan. Calling these people Japanese is an insult. The Japanese ethnically cleansed the Ainu and tried to wipe their culture,identity and people. Saying the Ainu are "Japanese" is like saying the Aztecs were Spanish! The Ainu have inhabited the region before the nation of Japan even existed!
chanting lawl
cute
Ainu pronounce like javanese speak japan
