Get to know Nobuko Miyamoto, icon of Asian American music and social activism.

In 1973, she released "A Grain of Sand: Music for the Struggle of Asians in America" (Paredon Records), a collaboration with Chris Iijima and Charlie Chin that has been widely recognized as the first album of Asian American music.

Miyamoto will be performing live at the Getty Center this Saturday, February 19. This day marks Day of Remembrance, a significant day in Asian American history. 

80 years ago on February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the executive order to uproot and incarcerate all people of Japanese ancestry, mostly citizens living on the West Coast. About 120,000 people were sent to concentration camps—including Miyamoto. She was only two years old when her family was forced to leave their home.
