From Osaka came the 'musical anarchist' , who sang in a style called goshu ondo. With the backing of the now disbanded Spiritual Unity, Tadamaru broke out of the festival circuit with his only album, Ullambana, released in 1991. ''Ullambana'' is a Sanskrit word that refers to a Buddhism sutra, and is the origin of the Japanese word ''Urabonne'' whose shortened form ''Bon'' or ''Obon'' is now widely used throughout Japan. Tadamaru's music is characterized as a radical new workout of summer festival music from Kansai area of Japan. The song Yui Maru Bushi from the album can be found here: * http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/world/guidejapan2.shtml * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1W7EGULc6s Tadamaru retired in 1995 and passed his name to one of his pupils who now sings as Tadamaru Sakuragawa II (二代目 桜川唯丸).
