Come hear ZAMA, a Haitian-American singer, songwriter, and multi-hyphenate artist based in Boston. A lifelong performer, she began singing as a child across Boston and New England, drawing early inspiration from a wide range of global sounds. Today, ZAMA’s music is a rich fusion of the cultures that have shaped her—seamlessly blending Pop and R&B vocals with Afro-Caribbean rhythms, and performing in English, French, Haitian Creole, and Spanish.
Performing Performance Spaces concerts, curated by MIT Media Lab student Ana Schon as part of her Master’s thesis, feature local Boston-area musicians playing their repertoire with an especially designed digital signal processing system that lets them control modulations on the amplification of their instruments, expressing different levels of exaggeration of the unique acoustic qualities of each venue. This project explores the relationship between live music and its context, and how our experiences of spaces can be transformed by music performance.
