Sā-Moana Jazz
04/30 18:00
Apia
Sā-Moana (“jazz of the sacred (blue) ocean”) brings together a group of talented musicians and music fans to celebrate International Jazz Day at the Tiapapata Art Centre in Samoa, a remote Pacific Island in the vast moana (ocean). Musicians will not only play unusual and unique instruments of the pre-European soundscape such as the nose flute, but will also share juxtaposed recordings of nature’s many voices alongside the more recognized jazz classics. With such a theme, the conversation will also turn to the rich ethnomusicology of pre-European contact Samoa which, as early as the mid-1920s, embraced the jazz genre born only a decade or so earlier in New Orleans and the lower Mississippi Delta.
