We invite musicians and performers who work from a perspective that crosses the various shared phenomena between Okinawa and Africa, seeking to feel and find clues for thought through collaborative music and visual performances. This collaboration features Matume Zango, a leading timbila (xylophone) player and percussionist from Mozambique; Miyako Island-born Maya Koga, an ethnomusicologist and performer specialising in Africa; and Ayaka Taira, an artist from Naha who organises events blending song and sanshin across art, education, and community.
