Vision: A polyphonic world, a world where many worlds fit. About Us: SAMA emerged as a response to the fragmentation and polarization in today’s societies. In a world beset by wars, authoritarianism, ecological degradation, and climate change-induced displacements, our need for relationship skills has never been greater. Despite being globally connected, we often fail to truly listen to each other. Music has the power to bridge these divides, engaging the right hemisphere of the brain, which governs experience, emotion, and relationships. At SAMA, we celebrate music's inherent ability to connect us to our shared humanity and ancestral roots. We focus on live performances to tap into the communal and social aspects of music, creating relationships among musicians, audiences, and the music itself. By experiencing music together, people from diverse cultural backgrounds can develop a greater awareness and appreciation of different ways of being within our shared humanity. SAMA envisions a world where this awareness, rooted in empathetic social experiences, nurtures a polyphonic world — a world where many worlds fit. --------------- 📲 Follow SAMA: Music + Art on social media: Instagram ▶️   / samaseattle   Facebook ▶️   / samasacred   Tiktok ▶️ @samaseattle --------------- #SAMA #MusicAndArt #SeattleSacredMusicArt #DobetGnahore #musicinterview
