No-No Boy is a collection of songs written by singer-songwriter Julian Saporiti. Inspired by his doctoral research at Brown University and his own experience as a Vietnamese-American growing up in Tennessee, these songs, paired with accompanying archival photographs and films edited by Saporiti, shine a light on an often invisible Asian-American experience. Jazz bands in WWII Japanese Incarceration camps, refugees sagas, kids in middle America making sense of a hyphenated identity, No-No Boy tries looks complicated histories through songs.

As you can imagine we are under huge pressure at the moment and are working flat out to ensure Cafe OTO survives this. The impact of this situation is extremely acute for small venues like ours and we need all the support we can get to pull through. Please donate what you can, if you can. Thank you. 

Cafe OTO opened in April 2008 with the aim of providing a home for creative new music that exists outside of the mainstream. It comprises one large cafe/performance space open during the day serving food and drink with an evening programme of live music almost seven nights a week. 

OTOROKU is part of OTOProjects - a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC) that has been set up to manage the programme at Café Oto. Any profits from OTOROKU are put back into supporting what we do and will help us to continue programming the best musicians and performers from all over the world.
