ABOUT mACHADO

Multi-instrumentalist and Portland native Machado Mijiga wears many hats, both literally and metaphorically. Classically trained, jazz-weathered, and eclectically inclined, Mijiga left the proverbial creative “box” at a very early age, with access to many instruments and a diverse musical background brought about by an intercultural heritage. Mijiga is a musical polymath; composer, producer, bandleader, educator, gear fanatic, and audio engineer, to name a few. Authenticity and uniquity assume the locus of Mijiga’s artistic identity. Self-expression is the prime directive and the medium of choice changes like the weather.

saturday, NOVEMBER 18, 2023 | BUSH HOUSE MUSEUM

Amenta is a singer, songwriter, producer and performance artist from Memphis, TN. In her own woman show, she builds vocal and instrumental loops from kalimba, synthesizer, drum machine and guitar creating atmospheric textures. Boldly mystical and soul-fired, join us for a magical evening in a historic house.   

This concert is part of our initiative to reimagine the Bush House Museum as an intimate space in which artists and performers can transform the burdens of history into hope, healing and joy – a space, in other words, that lies at the intersection of history and art.

About The artists

Sapata and Santigie design and build architectural sculpture that hinges around the storyteller.  The artists create work imbued with a rugged elegance as they exclusively construct their work with abandoned timber salvaged from the Pacific Northwest.  Through a dynamic of contemporary and craft inspired construction methods the artists create work with the intention to tell new stories with a classic style.  Santigie.com
