New York-based Japanese jazz pianist Senri Oe will perform at Smalls Jazz Club with enka singer Mika Shinno.
Enka is a Japanese ballad with downer topics ranging from lost love and loneliness to falling on hard times. But the songs are sung in dramatic fashion. Listen to Shinno belt out an enka song here.
