The Worldwide Eisa Festival is held with three concepts: “Umui (heart/prayer),” thoughts of the island, life, and loved ones; “Chimudon (stirring, emotional music), giving a performance that makes the heart leap; “Shinkanuchaa (exchange/friendship),” the birth of new friendships and a new self. It is a festival for all Eisa groups worldwide, and their fans, to meet.
