SUMMARY:SamaZama Performance during Yozakura
DESCRIPTION:  \nEnjoy the musical performance of SamaZama Koto/Cello Duo at 7 p.m. in State Capitol State Park. SamaZama is a collaboration of the Koto – a Japanese traditional musical instrument played By Masumi Timson and the Cello played by Joseph Harchanko. “Samazama” is the Japanese word for variety. The SamaZama Duo combines the esoteric nature of traditional and contemporary Japanese music with tango\, jazz\, blues and western classical music\, blending the instruments and music of Eastern and Western cultures in a moving and uncommon musical synthesis. Their music deftly unites these two widely divergent instruments through traditional and contemporary Koto works to create a vibrant musical soundscape that soothes and inspires. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Parking around the Capitol Mall is free on the weekends. This event is sponsored by the Oregon State Capitol Foundation and the City of Salem.
