How/where can I learn to sing Min'yo style?

I am in love with the way traditional Japanese folk singing sounds. I love the way the singers make their voices almost stutter or break and then go back into a slow, irregular vibrato. That style of singing gives me a very nostalgic feeling (don't ask me why, I have no idea) and it is so beautiful. I would give a lot just to be able to find out how to make my voice like that. Even simple exercises would be helpful. I would ALSO like to know where one would be able to find lessons in the United States (esp. California). I have been searching all over the internet just to find something of this ilk and have had no success except for performances on youtube and a Wikipedia entry that contains statements that need citation, so any information at all would be wonderful. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this.

Hello, a few things: Sakura Minyo does folk dancing but not singing. They are very active. If you live near Sacramento, there is a 'talent show' of traditional Japanese music and dance in the fall. It is at Buddhist Church of Sacramento. I think the day changes each year. It is a good place to see lots of singing styles.
