A Love of Music & Culture

SAMA: Music & Art is a cultural start-up and non-profit organization focused on creating opportunities for meaningful dialogue between global communities through the transformative power of music and art.

SAMA was Founded in 2020 by John M Goodfelow & Darek Mazzone.

Our objective is to elevate and centralize under-represented voices by employing various performance methods, celebrating diversity, and advocating for shared humanity.

We believe that art, particularly music, possesses a unique capacity to create enduring bonds rooted in empathy and collective joy.

We have witnessed numerous performances that demonstrate the ability of music to forge deep connections between audiences and performers, transcending language, and cultural backgrounds.

We concentrate on music and art with transformative qualities, connecting audiences to novel yet ancient experiences. Often, these works are produced by artists with layered cultural identities, enabling them to create pieces that resonate with diverse audiences and challenge prevailing binary thinking.
