Mostly orchestras that i worked with in my career have been in los angeles and its about your ability and how you perform on your instrument doing a project like this was it was more than just being able to play your instrument it was communing with with people and in a way almost family.

Been there for mostly been on a mission was i. Was. My name is mary m. To maddy my father was palestinian and my mother is japanese. I grew up in japan and i studied in the United States and i live in paris now i certainly listen to all different kinds of music i like rock and. And popular music as well but very since very very early age i must say since around three or four i tend to find very specifically with Classical Music and as soon as i started actually singing Classical Music myself i immediately knew that this was the way that i can express myself the most and the most fully always very important for me to sing in palestine and also with palestinians abroad as well too because i love i love palestine i love palestinians and i love being in this in this culture and a part of it my background as a palestinian and as a japanese those are the strongest of course thats part of my head. Was. You know. I feel that my background has helped me immensely. Is a big part of who i am so i grew up listening to a lot of Classical Music certainly song by my aunt danielle but also my father listened to a lot of bach and mozart at home all the arts played a huge part of my daily life since i was born i would just like to say that all was so thrilled to be here so thrilled to the always welcomed back they say you know they say welcome home to me when im here even if its been even if its been a few years that i havent been back and even if im so ashamed that i dont speak arabic but they but my family and friends always say welcome home and that is how i feel so i really am grateful for that. I was recording this morning at Capitol Records for a show called the x. Factor we do it usually on sundays every week it ranges from a couple hours to several hours today was about a three hour session. And my uncle is joining us he has traveled from Northern California city called palo alto. And hell be arriving at Los Angeles International airport where were on our way to go collect them i think are going to really. Joy meeting him because he is from palestine born and raised in palestine speaks arabic unfortunately i speak no arabic so i know im really happy that i can bring my uncle and he can add some culture to our of our gathering here so for now ill grab my uncle and head back to the house and then i will spend some time ago. Traveling. For you made up for in a fantastic. Time i forgot for. The obama team in all their. Lives that my home town needed to my shot in the. Right right. To talk about. Whatever they. Want to know the border kind of haughtiness and on up when were going to the from. The city. To. Just hear what chickens have come up. With. As well. The fact is they took their land and i remember it became. But nineteen forty four forty five forty six. It became impossible to go from one place to another without having an id and thats was restricting our freedom and it became ugly that we have to put up with a foreigner have telling us where to go when to go. And now when i see the situation is happening in palestine that you have to secede your land and give it to these people because they tell you saw im sorry the military said we have to mow down your house we dont care where you go or we hope you die in the desert somewhere that is an affront to humanity these are some of the pictures of villa. And the tumbi a section of jerusalem where i was born. And this is a picture of the very last it was completed in one thousand nine hundred twenty six this is a picture that is now touted the net to show villa how rashid. Was taken by the Israeli Government golda mayer lived in this house and i think begun was married in this house too and golda may have denied in her memoirs that and the arab ever lived in that house and she also marred the name of the village her rashid. So thats count four bernadotte would not notice that she is living in an arab south.

Men and women to the resources that are available but its a healthier story is that we just dont tell you what the subject of the story wants to know the government is not going to do the one thing the demonstrators want to apologize for thats what aljazeera does we ask the questions so that we can get closer to the truth more than seven decades ago a country was split into really big but didnt do anything and now the time content been shown to be dropped based all it took was a pan a map and a collapsing empire and when the british had to draw a line they pulled its seventh who had never been to india before aljazeera examines the violent but of india and pakistan and asks what the future holds for these Nuclear Neighbors partition borders of blood at this time.

Top stories more coming up in the news hour so do join me then after the second half of the diaspora orchestra. When charlie found out how bad the palestine orchestra he was and through z. Asked dick because of his background to go palestine and share all his time with with all these people that you know he loved that he loved me there and i hope he can continue. There is something about music and it depending on the style that youre doing but for me when i when im playing and performing especially if you get taken into a world where you know youre youre thinking about your music only you know youre not thinking about whats happening back home and youre dealing with issues that are difficult at home or in your family or your friends or anything like that youre in youre in the moment of the music and its kind of a respite from from the daily grind of life so i really look forward to the concerts specially because you get a you get a break from from reality really youre just in this world of music and its refreshing to be doing that and not thinking about Everything Else that youre going to be thinking about once its over. So im just getting my things together for the trip and im packing what i think i might need over there the weather is probably going to be. It might be a little chilly so ive got a couple things that id like to have with me along with my performing outfit and some gifts for some Family Members and things like that were joining maybe fifty or sixty members of the orchestra that are coming many of them from all different parts of the world including europe and south south america and this and the states like me and so im going to take these things with me and ill grab my violin and i will head to the airport and begin the journey. The back of. That. And take it and then look at it it could lead me in the middle of the hill and the. Well you could if you could live in the. Thought. That could lead you to. All of. Us like me into the be whole again and i was a year put on. Just. As you could. Be and it was kind of a. You know i mean im has an e a move to. Get home. To your mobile devices which have all but one of the that i like most of the public until it was about a month into the wall. And the door made. No saws. We. It was in comes in and in and mostly off the couldnt process. Chickenfoot of the book. But a common cold but im attacking chickens orchestra. If theyre. Not roy man i can make reading about how i did them someone called criminal some i havent had many of them. And they know me but what if you have. The book i use it be them and had a millionaire with a million requests a weak one. Dont. Count on me. Fear. Theatre. He had had me been new brain and a man had put on me a mask on her and. Then came and married him. Len had that fact to look into the economic that if she and i managed and i saw what it does to be our lamar said it would be a beauty best business bill national. And casual more clear my own home. With a sort of atomic door for listen a year why she she in the usual had the computer in. The home to mom was there we see its like a gift this is the sign of the homeland. Im always looking for palestinian poetry to sing and this poem is particularly special to my heart because first of all its by a great week and second i really felt close to it because i feel also like. Im palestinian but like so many of us in the diaspora so many of us who had to leave. I speak also as somebody from a far away land. And somebody who who feels this great nostalgia whenever i return and also i feel that the poem is really speaking about the experience of somebody like my father who had to leave. As a child and. He feels he has been living in exile his whole life but every day dreaming of palestine every day has his heart is in palestine so i feel that this poem really speaks beautifully about this experience of exile as the palestinian. Leak. Proof. Was. Read. I hate going. In the. But to see in the. Me. Out of the. That. Was. Her. That was another one to find out. For us out. Of a little. Well as a failure of history has had a role. Because if the whole we took what he said to her we as voters that are invalid then you know for us the in hock no noise if im in. Academia.

He were to strike a will love our love for sin city in heaven we still were. And he said to him that they were going to be in what is your agenda. For the. Washing of the. Many of the land. And. You.

But if im older and have robbie and i need to look in a medically hone they havent had any check across what we could orchestra let me know what is the reality in as if you need more duty and how that he came up with the water in a muzzle to him as if from as if the coffee hung only. Fuck off air that to be in. The head because he of us a lot to be a holy shit any of us and i me and a lot of the line and i learn from him all the best on how you i dont feel heavily in. The in. The look will be going to the cliff with bush on hold it going on while if you live with going on hell bomb the hell walk. When you perform back home its a its a different situation youre poor youre auditioning and youre performing with people and youre trying to do your best and its all about the play here thats why its a much deeper level youre. Mixing with people from your background and getting to hear the language and have the food and see the sights and it really is such a different experience doing it for Something Like this than it was say a job back home it is a dream for me i have never had the opportunity to come to palestine and until tim. Mohamed foggo contacted me i really didnt know when i would ever have that opportunity so it was really a great chance to come out and meet people of my heritage and play music with them and its a its a very nonpolitical situation so its really nice because were here just to spread the word of palestinian culture because the good side of the culture. Is so how might i tell addicts sit up and watch that doma any must sit in the list so you say a visual will assist its unhealthy of his dam and he could be sued and.

Behavior has been no enough to get a few new will be hit boom of the dish and. Busts but he couldnt actually. Thing with the Palestine National orchestra its quite different because it brings together to. Two of my passions my identity as a palestinian and also my identity as as a musician and its an extremely special experience because the orchestra is made up of musicians professional palestinian positions who live all around the world and work professionally and they we gather for the sake of this orchestra and all of us feel this sense of very strong identity as a palestinian and we have something very very specific and very passionate and important to communicate to the world. And this makes the experience unlike any other i feel. When the Palestine National archives to that day i think is something quite rare. Oh. I was. A young so molly refugee thrilled to gain u. S.
