Music Monday:
The Music of Mayumi Shara
New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park, in celebration of Asian American and Native Hawaiian/ Pacific Islander Heritage Month, presents Japanese American Mayumi Shara.
Composer and drummer Mayumi Shara is a uniquely cross cultural whirlwind of talent and energy, making her a well established pioneer female jazz drummer in Japan and New Orleans.
Mayumi’s vision combines the eloquence of Japanese traditional drums with American jazz that allows her to create musical cultural harmony. Mayumi seeks to inspire people through her love and understanding of the universal power of music which resonates deep within every human being. Her music serves to revitalize her audience’s energy through the powerful performances of her original compositions. Mayumi achieves a delicate musical fusion of East and West, all the while preserving the traditional aspects of Japanese drum expression.
Asian and Pacific Islander peoples in all walks of life have played a profoundly important role in American history, contributing to and shaping the rich heritage of the United States in many ways. Explore their stories and their legacy by visiting the units of the National Park System and other places listed in the National Register of Historic Places, most of which are National Historic Landmarks, throughout the nation featured in this itinerary. The National Park Service preserves historic places and stories of America's diverse cultural heritage and expands and maintains the National Register of Historic Places.
