i was born here in the united states my dad is from palestine he came over in one nine hundred fifty and lived here and started his family here and we've lived always in southern california i'm a professional violinist and i. i do music for movies soundtracks and commercials and record projects i received an e-mail from an orchestra that i work with here in

los angeles they had forwarded to me a correspondence they received from tim party from the palestine national orchestra on the edward sade institute looking for me i'm not sure how he'd discovered me or knew that i was living here but they forward me the e-mail and it was kind of quizzical that somebody was looking for me from that part of the world professionally not it wasn't a family member or something like that so it was quite interesting and intriguing when i got this email and when i learned what it was all about i was very excited to hear that they were trying to bring people from around the world back to create music.

most of the orchestras that i've worked with in my career have been in los angeles and it's 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. playing music with them and many of them from all over the world from europe and south america and then in the states and and being able to put it assemble a group together like that was it was really something it felt it felt like something very important was happening and especially through music music is such a great language the the in the. the .

my name is mary m. to maddy my father is 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 fight 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 all was 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 that's 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 i'm here even if it's been even if it's been a few years that i haven't been back and even if i'm so ashamed that i don't 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 he'll be arriving at los angeles international airport where we're 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'm and i'm really happy that i can bring my uncle and he can add some culture to our of our gathering here so for now i'll grab my uncle and head back to the house and then i will spend some time to go.

around saying. why you made it up in the fantastic. and i forgot for. the obama you know the man who lives of my own and who did to my shock when the. right right. will talk about. one another or to kind of haughtiness and on up when we're going to move from. the city.

just here i was certain to come out. right away. as well as. 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 that's 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 see see your land and give it to these people because they tell you saw i'm sorry the military said we have to mow down your house we don't 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 who and the mayor lived in this house and i think bay was married in this house too and golda may deny it and her memoirs. and the arab ever lived in that house and she also marred the name of the village her rashid. so that counts for bernadotte who had not noticed that she was living in an i was house.

it was auriol upon which modern day venezuela was a stop list. for over a century this lucrative resource has divided the people both less than cursed with the world's largest reserves. charting the impact of industrialization and the legacies of its prominent leaders we shed light on the troubles afflicting venezuela today. the big picture of the battle for venezuela coming soon on. the nature news as it breaks the u.s. cut the funding has cemented the feeling here that the u.s. is now part of the problem and has picked the israeli side with detailed coverage the nigerian government insists negotiations are ongoing to secure the release of the girls and hundreds of others. from around the world take decades on chileans are still thinking about abuses but this time those committed by the church. facing realities growing up when did you realize that you were living in

a special place a so-called secret city getting to the heart of the matter why ease activists to live in jail just because she expressed herself hear their story on and talk to al-jazeera at this time. al-jazeera is a very important force of information for many people around the world when all the cameras have gone i'm still here go into areas that nobody else is going to talk to people that nobody else is talking to. and bringing that story to the forefront. in london here's a quick recap your top stories russian sponsored talks aimed at finding a political solution to the war in syria have finished in the black sea resort of

sochi the final statement said elections should be held to allow syrians to decide their own future the congress also agreed to create a one hundred fifty member committee to discuss changes to the syrian constitution which would include groups not in attendance the u.n. will take over the job of convening that body but gov that. if the reform bill comprising the government of the. republic. along with the wide represented opposition. for drafting the additional reform secession is forces say they've taken control of the southern port city of aden that's where the saudi backed government of president but rubber months so hardy had been basin's two thousand and fourteen when it was pushed out of the capital by her thin rebels the reuters news agency says the u.a.e. backed forces of confine the government of president hadi to the presidential palace suggesting splits in the saudi led coalition. now this is

of the solve moving one step closer to declaring the south of yemen and the control now this assertion is backed by the united. have the opposite in aden how that are most likely to further expand their control to of areas like b.n. and also of which gives them more advantages in the near future of the of the most powerful military group operating in. the kenyan opposition movement has been declared a criminal group by the government following the symbolic swearing in of the leader raul or dengue or a staged integration was an act of protest finding the supporters who say he is kenya's legitimate leader they argue that who kenyatta is presidential election was neither free nor fair kenyatta was sworn in in december after he won a rerun of original vote. and donald trump will give his state of the union address to congress later on tuesday kicking off his second year in office the u.s.

president will lay out his agenda as he seeks to rally a deeply divided nation and sagging approval ratings more on that story in the news hour in about twenty five minutes time do join me then by now. when charlie found out about 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 you're doing but for me when i when i'm playing and performing especially if you get taken into a world where you know you're you're thinking about your music only you know you're not thinking about what's happening back home and you're dealing with issues that are difficult at home or in your family or your friends or anything like that you're in you're in the moment of the music and it's 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 you're just in this world of music and it's refreshing to be doing that and not thinking about everything else that you're going to be thinking about once it's over.

so i'm just getting my things together for the trip and i'm packing what i think i might need over there the weather is probably going to be. it might be a little chilly so i've got a couple things that i'd like to have with me along with my performing outfit and some gifts for some family members and things like that we're 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 i'm going to take these things with me and i'll grab my violin and i will head to the airport and begin the journey.

the book of love. from. sure and take it on the one hand if it's good and they need. it at the end of the. movie if they go down below well it could if you could live with. that could lead you to the. all of.

us like me to love probably be home again and i was a year for one. just. as you could. be and i was kind of a little. you know i mean i'm personally a move to. get home from your mobile device and have either one of the but i don't know how the public and the was but out of luck until i was. in. the can. you.

go. in and do all the way. saws. thank. you all we. did was who comes in any. recess. chickenfoot of the book. but if someone called but them attacking chickens or orchestra. if they're dems lord man i can make beer but aware how i did them some cool good men also might have been had many of them. i don't know but what if you're for. it be them and had

a millionaire model with a millionaire it was so weak what about. the whole you can have but to find me. here today cleared. he had had me been new brain and a man had to hand me a mask on her and. then come in marry him.

then had that as a benefit to look into the second i am let if she and i managed and i was so what it does will be i live said to be a dick beauty best vanessa bill national come out with an opinion and because you are more my own home. with a sort of a tom midget the fullest than a you know i seen better she in asia whore had the idiot beauty in. the home mom was that obese it's like a gift this is the sign of the homes. i'm

always looking for palestinian poetry to sing and this poem is particularly special to my heart because first of all it's by the great. and. i really felt close to it because i feel also like. i'm 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. week. who we. saw.

was. read oh oh. the ne i ne i'm going to hit him. in the back. a. bit to see him know what

some. me. out of the.

that. was. her.

that was another one to find out. rather. well as a failure of history has had a role. because if he how we took what he said to her we as of august are invalid then you hear from us the in hock knows if i'm in. academia. or we had his he nor would the seller the steward phone call for scenes when you know a bomb or in a bad thought because that or because if it only because i was going to his head

and the mission had the capability of malware but would have had a will of of his but his you know as if. he were to start a will love i love for sin city in heaven was there were. assisted and for me to in that they were going to be in what is your agenda. for the. many of the leaders. and.

and the. the. the. the air as in think of a movie i mean what money for you had to his silo in norman damage my plane a movie would hoenheim include a feast or

a selfie caller. sean sean with nobody nobody had. a chuckle hoss what the nut on and mocha. surely will coon. you know like a short hold of a you do nothing you i mean i have it as a fit for friends as if it can be kept if you do a lot of be at any of us in our lives if they feel the most about not that i'm a bit if i'm older and have robbie and i need to look in a medically home mother look we haven't had any check across but we couldn't orchestra let me know how in the day i was in as if you need more duty and how the heck you muppet look we've got a little muzzle to him as if in a mess if the coffee hung only. fuck off air that to be in. the coffin had nicholas he of us a lot to be a holy shit any bus and i me and i learn a kaline an island for him all the best enemies eat i'm hale and i'm for heavily in

. the in. the look will be going to the cliff with bush on hold with going on. because on her bombshell walk.

when you perform back home it's a it's a different situation you're poor you're auditioning and you're performing with people and you're trying to do your best and it's all about the play here that's why it's a much deeper level you're. 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 is 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 didn't 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 it's a it's a very nonpolitical situation so it's really nice because we're 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 the toma any must sit in the list so you say a visual assistance and have to visit them and had to be suitable. but it's best to behave i have been bad enough to see what a woman can and not of him did a lot of in the law send a man couldn't you know what had little to how did your interest in a belief that it was a sin of been connection been know been musicians to show judas sabby and be. done this might be at a food. but so many choose to join you wish to see how the admin who and by

didn't eat. he had some sistine alyson and a stick out of style home full of steam and a bitch dam and busy china care. when i'm behind you but at the plaza in the summit behind it's. had the most a night if the market mature fashion for missing vision good for them and showed it dearie and he said end of two to behave in a to get off to new will be hit boom of the dish and. busts but he couldn't actually.

thing with the palestine national orchestra it's 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 it's 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 past time national our guest that day i think is something quite rare.
