The Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Northern California (JCCCNC) is proud to announce the first official U.S. tour of the enka singing sensation, JERO. This exclusive West Coast tour will kick-off with a performance on Sunday, March 28, 2010 at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco at 4:00 p.m.

Jerome Charles White, Jr. aka JERO is the first African American enka singer in the history of Japanese music, Jero single-handedly reignited interest in the musical ballads that emerged in Japan’s post-war era.

Raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania by his Japanese grandmother and half-Japanese mother, JERO grew up listening to the records of enka legend Misora Hibari. After appearing on a Japanese television contest, he landed a recording contract rising to the top of the enka charts with his hit single “Umi Yuki – Snowy Sea.”

Critics have lauded the way this meteoric talent has managed to mold a traditional musical genre around a modern context in a way that appeals to all generations. Looking like a hip-hop star, with a voice of an angel, he has redefined the soul of Japan.

Tickets go on sale on January 6 for JCCCNC members and to the general public on February 4. Special individual premium ticket packages will be $250. These special premium tickets are located in the first five rows in the center aisle and include a private reception with Jero immediately following the show. JCCCNC members will have to contact the JCCCNC at (415) 567-5505 x226 to confirm/apply for membership and to receive the early purchase code, as well as to purchase the Premium ($250) ticket package.
