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 e-mail 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 to create music. mostly orchestras that i 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. ah. to the to. the old. the one to old the even. the the with.

for good the heloc to get in the jimmy and. been there for mostly been on a mission was i. was told. 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 3 or 4 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 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 that's part of my head.

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 songs 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 3 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 our gathering here so for now i'll grab my uncle and head back to the house and then i will spend some time ago. planning. what you made up for in the fantastic. so much to the point.

the obama team in all their whole lives down to my shop in the. right right. will talk about. whatever they. want to know the 4 kind of politicians on up when we're going to do from. the say.

just air i want chickens come walk sign language. as well. the fact is they took their land and i remember it became. but i did 444546. 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 telling us where to go when to go. and now what i see the situation is happening in palestine that you have to see cede 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 1926 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 beggar 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 that's colored for bernadotte would not notice that she is living in an arab sours.

being located outside that weston's and tricks fair of influence we're able to bring a different perspective to global events when you peel away all of the panelists a cove in the military in the financial dog and you see the people in those words and those policies are affecting see the emotion on their faces the situation they're living in that's when all the us can identify with the story. a conflict that is now considered to be the world's worst humanitarian crisis going to how many would like to have to die with this horrible stock responses on are really for sale and investigation into how billions of euros are made from supplying arms to saudi arabia a leader of the coalition fighting a ruler in the south the case is interesting. because of the much money involved

yemen war profiteers on al-jazeera. there what you all deserve which makes the whole robin the hero of top news stories the u.s. has designated china as a currency manipulator as the trade war between the world's 2 largest economies intensifies stocks have dropped nearly 3 percent to wall street of china let its currency sink to an 11 year low alan fisher has more from washington d.c. . the global markets don't like the idea of the world's 2 biggest economies going head to head in a trade war even though donald trump said that the cheap and easy to when now the chinese are playing quite cleverly here by targeting agricultural products they know that war heart donald trump because he won

a lot of states where farmers are strong and therefore they think this is striking him at his political base donald trump and the white house believe that china haven't really entered into trade talks with the best of graces yourself korean military says the north has lied to and identify projectiles into the sea the launch took place in the province of south on hey earlier the north korean government condemned joint military drills between the u.s. and south korea. puerto rico's senate has called off a vote to confirm. as governor it will no wait until the supreme court decides on a case concerning his eligibility came to office on friday after weeks of protests forced his predecessor to resign the united nations is urging india and pakistan to exercise restraint after new delhi revoked indian administered kashmir as the autonomous status like a stone says it will exercise all options in response to that decision

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 2. 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 the specially 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. but 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 50 or

60 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. from.

the back of. a month on the. shore and take it on the one hand it's good to me. that we have the ability. to put it to live in love. with. the flow of the. second into the to be whole again and i was a year put on. as you could. be and it wasn't abolish. it. you know i mean i'm has had me in we've taken the.

a. yeah. home to mom was there a wish it's like a gift this is the sign on the homeland. i'm always looking for palestinian poetry to sing and this poem is particularly special to my heart because 1st of all it's by a great week and 2nd 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.

leader. who we. saw. was. read.

io i'm on about the shaddock ma. the ne i ne i'm going to hit him. in the bad by the sure yanni a. bit to see him know what some. me. out of the will. mean when mcqueen know when.

sleep. that was. c c c another one to find out. for us out.

of a little till. the color philistine well as a failure of history has had to deal with lovel. because if the how we took what he said to her we as of course that are invalid then you're for us the in hoc no no as if i'm in. academia musi of glee we had a few nor would miss it had this one phone call or human foreseen said we need a bomb or in a bad thought because that or because if it only because of us there would be 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 pissed that i would love our love for sin city in heaven was there were. a sense of meter to him that they were going to be in what is your agenda. for the. washed over.

many of the leaders. and. the. with.

the. the the the. be and. the air as in think of a movie i'm on what money for you had been his had no norman damage my play in a movie would be 100 include a feast or a so if you call a. sean sean with and i would notice the idea. of a chuckle hawse what the nut on and mocha. surely would coon. like to show hold of if you do not then yeah me and i have it as a fit for francis if it can be kept to do a lot of b. at any bus in our lives if they feel the most about not that i'm

a bit different where and how you robbie and i need to look in a medically hone medically haven't had any check across what we couldn't orchestra let me know how in the day i was you and i was if you need more you d. and how the heck you muppet like the water in a muzzle to him as if i'm as if the coffee hung only. fuck off air that to be. in. the coffin of us a lot of be a holy shit any bests and i am me and i learn a kaline and i learn from him all the best humans eat i hate i am for heavily in. the in. the look will be going to the cliff with bush on the whole thing going on while if you live with going on how bomb the hell 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 that it's a job back home it is

a dream for me i have never had the opportunity to come to palestine and until tim . mohammad 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 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. that. is so how might i tell addicts sit up and watch the tama any maha sit in the list

so you say a dozen of the show will cease it's a half the abyss damon had to be suitable. but it's best to behave i have been bad enough to see what it's a woman can and not of him did a lot of the. law and a man couldn't you know what had little to out of the you interests in a big fight it was a sin of the connection been no been and musicians do surely to do to say. you know i'm to new down this might be at a food. but so many didn't you wish he had the admin who invited he had them in iowa and he had them a shift every time says nina listen and i stick it out after i leave home full of steam and a bitch damn and busy china care. when i'm behind me but at the club is in the summit in the high life between jet the new ship had the most a night of to muck with metallic passion for missing vision good for them and

showed it dearie and the sad end of it to be to be hated to have been know enough to be out of tune you will be hit by the dish and the. bus but he couldn't actually . move. thing with the palestine national orchestra it's quite different because it brings together to. 2 of my passions my identity as a palestinian and also my identity as as a musician and it's an experiment 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 our guest that day i think is something quite rare.
