CRUISIN’ J-TOWN
Features June Kuramoto and the band Hiroshima in their early days
Multiple Screenings of the
1975 Short Documentary Film by
Duane Kubo
Duane Kubo's 1975 documentary portrait of saxaphonist Dan Kuramoto, koto player June Okida Kuramoto, and percussionist Johnny Mori — members of the Asian Americn jazz fusion band Hiroshima — is acknowledged as a true classic of Asian American cinema, and offers an intimate glimpse into the world of the sansei (third-generation Japanese American) generation. This screening of the film (Kubo's UCLA Thesis project) follows the three as they recount their efforts to meld their art into their ongoing search for identity and meaning; and is highlighted by a cross-cultural jam session between members of Hiroshima and the Chicano performing arts company El Teatro Campesino.
