Nizzar,
I am amazed at the amount of talent that has come from and continues to come from of Palestinians, no matter where they are living, either in Israel,
Palestine or the diaspora. Perhaps it is the constant struggle that brings about such profound and prolific artestry. The list grows bigger and
bigger. From oud builders to musicians, it certainly is a living, breathing and vibrant artistic community despite all the hardships and difficulties
(or perhaps because of it). I am planning a trip there sometime in the near future, family obligations permitting, and would love to make the rounds
of some musical events in Palestine and Israel. If you haven't moved to Europe yet, may I contact you when that happens?
Happy New Year to you too.
