Minyo Crusaders: Tiny Desk (Home) Concerts

Min’yō folk music was originally sung by Japanese fishermen, coal miners and sumo wrestlers hundreds of years ago, and the Minyo Crusaders are on a mission to make these songs relevant to an international audience. For their performance, the Crusaders found a unique take for their desk: a “kotatsu,“ which is a heated Japanese table traditionally used for gathering in the winter months.
