Nobuko Miyamoto is an icon of Asian American music and activism. Since the early 1970s, she has been exploring ways to reclaim and respirit our minds, bodies, histories, and communities, using the arts to create social change and forge solidarity. 120,000 Stories collects powerful songs, reinterpretations of old ones, and recordings from across her career, including from the'seminal 1973 album A Grain of Sand and the band Warriors of the Rainbow. These songs speak to past and present struggles for self-determination, Black Lives, the environment. They chronicle difficult histories, they celebrate resilient traditions, and most of all, they endeavor to connect communities.
