Southern Wave’s aim is to share their passion and joy of playing sanshin, Okinawa Minyo (folk songs) and Ryukyu buyo (Okinawan traditional dance) with the community to promote cultural diversity. They celebrate multiculturalism by exploring the richness of Okinawan arts and culture. Southern Wave has hosted cultural events such as Annual Sanshin Day to offer the communities of Canada the opportunity to experience the Okinawan culture. 

Southern Wave Okinawan Music and Dance Society will be performing Yotsudake, a Ryukyuan classic dance done whilst wearing striking flower-shaped hats, which historically was performed during the mid-Autumn celebration to welcome Chinese diplomats who visited the Ryukyu Kingdom. They will also perform Warabigami, a lullaby written by an Okinawan musician Misako Koja with the sanshin (Okinawan three-stringed banjo) and the piano. Additionally, they will introduce Matayoshi Kobudo, an Okinawan martial art developed by Matayoshi family, with a training/demonstration of kata with weapons such as Bo (wooden stick) and Eku (oar).

サザンウェーブの目的は、三線、沖縄民謡、琉球舞踊への情熱と喜びをコミュニティと分かち合い、文化の多様性を促進することです。豊かな沖縄の芸術と文化を探求することで、多文化主義を讃えます。サザン・ウェーブは、カナダのコミュニティに沖縄文化を体験する機会を提供するため、毎年三線の日などの文化イベントを開催しています。 

サザンウェーブ沖縄の唄と踊り愛好会は、琉球王国を訪れた中国の冊封使を歓迎するために中秋の名月に踊られた琉球古典音楽の花笠踊り・四つ竹を披露します。また、沖縄を代表するミュージシャン、古謝美佐子作の子守唄である童神を沖縄三線とピアノで演奏します。さらに、又吉一族が発展させた沖縄の伝統武術である又吉古武道を紹介し、棒やエーク（櫂）などの武器を使った型の実演を行います。
