YELLOW PEARL REMIX
Another Pacific Standard Time event to share with everyone. Come if you can. I know Nobuko from several years back. She was one of the mentors for a Collaboratory project I was a part of with other artists and performers. I feel blessed that I’ve lived in Los Angeles long enough to have formed a network of truly inspiring artists.
Here’s the info for the event. (P.S. A Tumblrer I follow is a guest artist for this event.):

Together with a group of guest musicians and activists from the 1960s and 70s, as well as contemporary artists and activists, Miyamoto brings alive the dynamic moment when her 1973 album A Grain of Sand: Music for the Struggle of Asians in America created a heartbeat for the Asian American Movement and shared rhythms with Black, Latino, and Native American cultural and political activists.
