I'm only just getting more interested in enka. (Also I suddenly have hundreds of hours of listening I want to get to, or so it seems. The first half of the year I've mostly been listening to a few things obsessively and not finding many leads for new-to-me stuff (though most of my obsessive listening has been to a few new things). It generally hits at some point during the year. But I will add this to my imaginary list.)

Dust to Digital has just released new compilation of music by Lonnie Holley, an Alabama artist and musician.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDh_GyrMU4A
This track, from that new album, is stunningly beautiful and spurred me to buy a copy of the disc. Only twelve bucks!

Give this documentary excerpt a peek too:

not sure how I've gone so long w/out seeing this treasure trove before but there are many fine items here, some familiar, some new to me. mb it's because i'm febrile in bed but the 8 minute i am a cat video seems huge, operatic.

I sent some Jero videos to someone from Palau I worked with for a little while. She was impressed with his voice and showed them to her uncle who is an enka fan, and he was very impressed. (Apparently enka and other older Japanese music forms are popular with some segments of Palau, probably partly thanks to Japan's former colonial presence there. She said her grandparents were really into older Japanese music.)
