Right before Earth Day, join Small Island Big Song for a moving concert experience combining
music, spoken word, and stunning projections to showcase unique oceanic grooves and soulful
island ballads, while shining a light on the devastating effects of global warming on these
islands. Framed against panoramic visuals, more than 100 indigenous artists are represented to
highlight a shared seafaring ancestry with interconnected musical traditions. These unique
lineages mixed with their diverse contemporary styles—roots-reggae, beats, grunge, R&B, folk
and spoken-word—establish a contemporary musical dialogue between cultures as far afield as
Madagascar, Aotearoa, Taiwan, Mauritius, Marshall Islands, Papua New Guinea, Tahiti, and
Rapa Nui. Billboard ASIA describes Small Island Big Song as “one coherent jaw-dropping piece
that is likely the first time these traditional instruments have been mixed together... The result is
breathtaking.”
Center for the Arts at George Mason University is at 4373 Mason Pond Drive, Fairfax, VA.
