SAN FRANCISCO — The Los Angeles-based Grateful Crane Ensemble will present “Misora Hibari: A Tribute to a Legend” on Saturday, Nov. 21, at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. at Buddhist Church of San Francisco, 1881 Pine St. (at Octavia Street) in San Francisco.

Misora Hibari

This fond look back at the life and career of legendary singer and actress Misora Hibari will feature “Hibari-chan’s” greatest hits, such as “Tokyo Kid” and “Kawa no Nagare no You ni.”

This musical tribute will not only celebrate her amazing talent, but will also show how she provided so much joy, strength and encouragement to Japanese Americans as they rebuilt their lives after camp.

For this, and so much more, the Grateful Crane Ensemble will honor, gratefully remember and pay tribute to the late, great Misora Hibari.

General admission: $25. For tickets, call the BCSF office at (415) 776-3158.
