Welcome to the official CZcams Channel of SAMA: Music & Art - An immersive Series of Music & Art Performances focused on the Healing Power of Global Sacred Music 🎼
The Seattle Sacred Music & Art (SAMA), is your destination for global transcendent music and art in the Pacific Northwest and worldwide. Our channel curates, produces, and collaborates on an immersive series of music and art performances that share the healing power of global music. Hosted by Darek Mazzone from KEXP, we bring you live or pre-recorded sessions and new work produced weekly, featuring music and interviews from all over the world.
➡️ At SAMA, we define "sacred music" as any harmonic, rhythmic, melodious, and even experimental musical art form that elevates the human spirit. From Gregorian chants and Mongolian throat singing to Moroccan Gnawa and Brazilian samba, sacred music has been performed in great halls and houses of worship around the globe, in forests and fields, and even on chaotic ghetto streets. SAMA strives to bring that transcendent state to listeners through live and streamed performances by artists from all over the globe.
