Shima uta (島唄?), or "island songs", is a common term for Ryukyuan folk songs or min'yō. It was originally used by the people of the Amami Islands, spreading to other areas of the Ryukyu Islands. Shima uta are generally accompanied by one (or more) sanshin. Yunta (ユンタ?) is a genre of folk song originating in the Yaeyama Islands.
