This song is one of the most famous *Enka songs in Japan.
The theme of this song is the hometown of a man. The lyrics are about a man living in the city who receives a package from his parents and misses about early spring in his hometown, his family, and his former love.

*Enka (演歌) is one of the Japanese music genres. The style is considered to resemble traditional Japanese music.

Ethno Chile 2024 was organized by Asociación Cultural Ensamble Transatlántico in collaboration with Espacio Arte Kopanqui.
