So I'm sitting here studying up on Do-Enka for the exam and I come across this little gem.
Apparently, Enka is alive and kicking with a little help from Jerome White, Jr. from Pittsburgh. He was introduced to Enka by his Japanese grandmother, who his service member grandfather met after World War II. If the Japanese found a kinship with African American music after WWII, Jero is reciprocating in amazing fashion.
Peculiar, isn't it.
