by Joseph Yoshimasu Kamiya  Monthly selections of Ryūkyūan music – past and present, from the islands and in the diaspora! Curated by OAA members and special guests, we’ll share songs inspired by themes like personal connections, significant seasons, specific islands and regions, and more. If you don't know many traditional songs or modern songs by Ryūkyūan performers, we hope that these informal recommendations will help with building your library! If you're already aware of many of the songs featured, we hope you will enjoy the personal connections and curated themes!  At our 2023 General Membership Meeting, current OAA Vice President Victoria Oshiro Nishiuchi was nominated and elected as the OAA's next President! She was nominated by OAA Uchinaaguchi Instructor, Advisor, and Past President Chogi Higa, who read a long list of Victoria's past achievements and leadership roles (including but not limited to board member, secretary, chairperson and member for numerous event planning committees, and past treasurer). In 2018, Victoria was one of the Women of the Year awarded by the Downtown Los Angeles Chapter of the Japanese American Citizen League and the Japanese Women’s Society of Southern California (read article).
