Our weekly Japanese rotation takes us to Tokyo's Asakusa district with presenter Toshio Matsuura at the controls. WW Tokyo is live from WIRED HOTEL ASAKUSA.

For this month's show Toshio is joined by composer, pianist, soloist, band leader, South African Music Award winner, honorary Doctorate of Music from the University of the Witwatersrand and the holder of Order of Ikhamanga presented by President Jacob Zuma, Abdullah Ibrahim.

Toshio is also joined by Minyo Crusaders ahead of their UK and European tour. They are a the multi-instrumental 10 piece band with 3 percussionists, as well as a minyo singer - a stylised form of singing rarely encountered outside of a classical folk arrangement.
