Andeor Map @ SOL FAMIMAMA JAZ went all out to reach beyond the physical; No public access on site as the sessions were meant only to air on Radio waves and be live streamed on Facebook & Youtube.
Andeor Map is an Art Music Series which gives for total creative freedom to the performing artists. A special spice was that the sessions were ephemeral and not to be archived for public reaccess;The message is that Art echoes life and, though fleeting, is intense; no second should be left unlived wholly. The sessions averaged audiences of 20,000 each Sunday night.
