2021 edition
It is the responsibility of each and everyone to care and be aware as we all join forces to keep standing through the historical predicament at hand.
MAMA JAZ is a month-long festival dedicated to Creative Music & Jazz, nested in Mauritius, harmonised with April, demonstrating every year since 2016.
Indoor or outdoor, online or offline, on National Tv, Radios and the Internet, the heart of the initiative beats through all waves to convey the most positive frequencies.
We will embrace what Life throws at us and this 6th edition of the festival, even if dematerialised, is substantial as we focus on human resilience, optimism, tenacity as well as hopes for a healthy world.
Bring it on :)
We are calling out to all humans (no age limit) willing to come together for a performance on their own and share energy through music or dance with us on Facebook.
Very simple: Just audio-video record your performance and publish on your Facebook page tagging MAMA JAZ.
# Ti Mama Fami # Mama Jaz 2021
Given the overwhelming popularity of this campaign in 2020, MAMA JAZ called again upon graceful artists to emit energy sparks in April a little bit differently; these will be published on Facebook, YouTube and shared.
