西馬音内盆踊り(にしもないのぼんおどり)は秋田県雄勝郡羽後町西馬音内で毎年8月16日から18日まで行われる盆踊り。阿波踊り、郡上おどりと合わせて日本三大盆踊りと称されます。
お囃子は勇ましく野性的なのに対し、踊りはしなやかで流れるよう。踊りには「音頭」と「がんけ」があり、音頭は手振り、足さばきがとても静かで優雅な踊り。一方、がんけは亡者の踊り。一転して歌詞や節回しに哀調が漂い幻想的な踊りに。
The Bon dance called “Nishimonai Bon Odri” is performed every year in Nishimonai, Ugo-machi, Ogachi-gun, Akita from August 16 to 18th. It is called one of famous Bon Dance such as Awa odori, Gujo odori and Owara, etc.
Distinctive feature of the Nishimonai Bon Odori is the contrast between the boldness and liveliness of the hayashi, and the flowing elegance and beauty of the dancing, very quiet. There are two dances, called "Ondo" and "Ganke." The mournful melody of "Ganke" drifts in the lyrics and intonation.
