SOBONINKUN (Ballet)
Soboninkun is a mask dance played after a big harvest is brought into a village. A very skilled, trained dancer travels from village to village and is rewarded with food and gifts for his performance.
Notes:
Microtiming stretches rhythm into direction of 12/8.
"Feeling hovers between binary and ternary, which is typical for Wassolon rhythms. The tone flam in the accompaniment is played slightly stretched."
Reference: Also known as Soumounoukou.
