b4 War of The Flea

Taken from 'A Grain of Sand - Music For The Struggle By Asians In America (1973)'
on Paredon Records.

Asian American folk music lamenting about the inhuman obstacles
that prevent them form having their slice of the American dream.
The music is standard coffee house style: a couple acoustic guitars
with up-front vocals (male & female). Some songs pick up the pace
with congas and bass, maracas and even flute on one song.
Lyric wise, inconsistent but a few songs are powerful testaments
about the human spirit and fight to survive.
The Paredon label specializes in music, poetry, interviews and speeches.

All Songs composed and Sung by lijima Miyamoto, except track 2
'Wandering Chinaman' by Charlie Chin
