Producer and Director of the Samoana Jazz and Arts Festival, Miss Peta Siulepa, believed that this would be a great start between American Samoa and Samoa to stay and continue to live in unity.
“American Samoa is the southernmost border of the United States making it the birthplace of Jazz in the Pacific region.” she said She added that the Samoana Jazz & Arts Festival was designed as a united Samoa platform of music and the arts.
“This also played a very important role of culture and identity of Samoan’s people, culture, environment and offerings.
“The students of National University are taking part in the celebration of the UNESCO International Jazz Day.
International Jazz Day is a yearly event on 30 April, organized by UNESCO to celebrate “the virtues of jazz as an educational tool, and a force for peace, unity, dialogue and enhanced cooperation among people.
The Day was proclaimed during the UNESCO General Conference in November 2011. The first annual International Jazz Day was kicked off in Paris by UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova and UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador Herbie Hancock.
