“SAMA was one of the greatest opportunities we had during the pandemic. It provided us with international visibility, allowing us to share our music and our story.”

“Whether through our acoustic performance at WOMEX 21 in Porto or the online session, this initiative enabled us and other artists to maintain a connection with the audience at a time when public concerts were severely restricted.

Moreover, SAMA showcases a blend of arts from all cultures and backgrounds. For many, it offers a unique opportunity to discover music from around the world and to notice the striking similarities between certain melodies or instruments, even when countries are geographically distant.

Whether you are passionate, curious, an established artist, or a music enthusiast, you won’t be disappointed exploring Darek’s discoveries on SAMA and listening to the fascinating stories of artists from around the globe.”

—Yousra Mansour, founder of Franco-Moroccan band, Bab L’ Bluz

“One of the most powerful things about partnering with SAMA is seeing how their events bring people together—creating moments of joy, connection, and discovery.”

“Town Hall Seattle and SAMA share a commitment to building community through the arts. We’ve been proud to co-produce the Global Rhythms series, which brings diverse musical traditions from around the world to Seattle audiences. SAMA's dedication to showcasing global artistry not only enriches our programming but also fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation of cultural traditions among our patrons….We’re grateful for their work and proud to support their vision for a more connected, culturally vibrant Seattle.”

—Kate Nagle-Caraluzzo, Executive Director, Town Hall Seattle
