# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Audio Described Show - Music Portrait of a Humble Disabled Samoan 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 13 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 am
- **Event Description**: With humour, honesty and a quiet, powerful presence, Samoan musician and disability advocate Fonotī Pati Umaga shares his remarkable story in this compelling new work. Raised in a church-going family in Wainuiomata, Fonotī was expected to become a minister like his father — but his passion was music. He forged his own path, breaking into the industry, launching a record label and building a career as bass player for The Holiday Makers.

In 2005, a fall left Fonotī tetraplegic, leading to years of challenge and self-made darkness before finding renewed purpose and healing in unexpected places.

Backed by a powerhouse Pacific creative team, Music Portrait of a Humble Disabled Samoan blends live music, storytelling and striking visuals to honour a man who continues to rise.
