About the Concert:      

Growing up in Japan, she was influenced by music by Studio Ghibli, Japanese culture and poetry. The lyrics of her original songs are often related to nature, the seasons and love, just like traditional Japanese poetry. At this concert, she will showcase her original songs which have deep connections with nature. As the journalist Abhinaya Natesh from Burnaby Now describes Tamami’s music
in the article after the interview: “Sky Canvas was written as a response to finding light on a dark day. Maitland (Tamami) encourages others dealing with their own struggles to do the same. She holds to a maxim: “Tomorrow will be a better day.””, she hopes to encourage and help people to stay positive through her performance at the concert. She will be performing a duo with the talented bassist Emilio Suarez.
