AHC: East Asian Origin of Rap and Jazz

With a PoD no earlier than the death of Genghis Khan, create a timeline where Classical Chinese poetry developed into rap and Japanese min'yo evolved into a jazz analogue, and have them be popular throughout the OTL Americas.
Bonus: Make the genres popular in Europe and the Middle East, while having minimal European colonization of the Americas.

There is a lot more Japanese immigration to the United States in the late 1800s, and they disperse throughout the United States, bringing their music with them, one of them the min'yo. In the early 1900s, with ragtime becoming popular, Japanese musicians start combining the ragtime with the min'yo. Before Joplin became famous OTL, many ragtime musicians improvised in their pieces. The jazz analogue created by the Japanese musicians have the roots in the min'yo, but also has syncopation and improvisation borrowed from ragtime. This Japanese jazz analogue quickly becomes the ATL pop music...
