Tradewinds

Season 2024 Episode 2 | 22m 46s | CC

"Tradewinds" is an intimate portrait of the life of CHamoru jazz pianist, Patrick Palomo, whose musical style has combined CHamoru lyrics with the sounds and melodies of contemporary and classic jazz music. Although his music career has spanned decades and continues to influence the Guam music scene, the film explores how his legacy has paved the way for younger artists.
