This event will feature The Sammy Murgo Quartet performing live jazz, enlivening, as always, the character of the street.<\/p>\n<p>With this event, the Artistic Director of The Strada Stretta Concept, Giuseppe Schembri Bonaci, hopes to place a spotlight on the consistently self-effacing icon that is Sammy Murgo. Murgo has been a presence on the local jazz scene since the 1950s and has played at legendary local clubs such as The Kenner Club and The Caf\u00e9 Premier during their prime. He has played with three generations of local musicians and has also performed with the famous Maltese composer, Charles Camilleri. Yet despite having such an illustrious career, as well as earning respect from his peers, Murgo chose to sequester himself from fame instead purely dedicating his attention to the music itself.<\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Strada Stretta Concept is organising its first event of the year: So you thought you knew Sammy&#8230; The Unknown Sammy Murgo. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26952,"parent":0,"template":"","etn_category":[],"etn_tags":[145,84,157,158,92,33,34,82],"class_list":["post-26948","etn","type-etn","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","etn_tags-concert","etn_tags-music","etn_tags-sammymurgo","etn_tags-splendid","etn_tags-stradastretta","etn_tags-valletta","etn_tags-vallettaculturalagency","etn_tags-vca"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.6 (Yoast SEO v27.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>So you thought you knew Sammy... - Valletta Cultural Agency<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vca.gov.mt\/en\/events\/so-you-thought-you-knew-sammy\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"So you thought you knew Sammy...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Strada Stretta Concept is organising its first event of the year: So you thought you knew Sammy...
