Guest Hosts: Savea and Vavea'o Partsch
Savea and Vavea'o Partsch arrived in Houston in 1979, long before a Pacific Island community had taken root, and became true pioneers of culture and connection.
Accomplished musicians, they founded Savea's South Seas Spectacular, the city’s first professional Pacific Island dance company, and raised their seven children within its legacy. Over the years, they have launched the first island festival, committed decades of grassroots work and have been central to carving out space for Pacific Islanders in Houston.
