Raised in Wainuiomata, Fonotī Pati Umaga was given two options from his father about his future. Either become a church minister or a lawyer. Determined to follow his own path, however, he followed his heart and chose music. In 2005, everything changed when a fall left him a tetraplegic. Years of hardship followed before finding renewed purpose and healing in places he never expected. Backed by a powerhouse Pacific creative team, Music Portrait of a Humble Disabled Samoan weaves live music, storytelling and visual design into a genre-defying celebration of resilience, hope and the fire music can carry.
O le Afioga ia Fonotī Pati Umaga, sa soifua a’e i Wainuiomata ma o le fa’atonuga a lona tamā, na’o le lua galuega e te sailia. A le o le Faifeau, o le Loia. Ae peita’i o lona naunauta’iga e taumafai e sa’ili lona lava lumana’i, na i’u ai ona avea le musika ma lona filifiliga. I le tausaga 2005 na suia uma ai fa’amoemoega, sa pa’ū fa’afuase’i ma na fa’apogai ai, na pē ona lima e o’o i ona vae. E tele tausaga na soso’o, sa feagai ai o ia ma faigata ma fa’afitauli, ae na i’u lava ina fa’afouina ai lona fa’moemoe ma le ola fuataina i nofoaga na te le’i mafaufauina. O le Music Portrait of a Humble Disabled Samoan, e lagolagoina malosi e tagata talenia mai Niu Sila ma le vasa Pasifika; ma o se fa’asoaina o se vaega o le tala i le malaga a le Afioga ia Fonotī Pati Umaga. E fa’atino lea I pesepesega, fagogo ma ata mamanu vaaia e fa’ailoa ai lona tinoū, finafinau, ma le aogā o le musika e faaolaola le malosi faatumauina, faamoemoe ma le mausali.
