GREAT music!

Some time ago I read an article about an Iraqi musician, Naseer Shamma, who played a music piece dedicated to Iraqi children who had suffered incredibly after the first Iraq -Us (and allies) war, and all what followed. Apparently it was very moving, and some American official lady there approached afterwards to say how touched she was and sorry for what ever her government might have contributed to this. I noted his name thinking I should check this music out..See what is it all about.
And now by a chance I found his website. His music is very typical eastern Arab countries, very classical..But still very creative and new..And very very beautiful!!! I don't know about you, but I absolutely loved it. This will be one of my absolute favorites.

It made me think about Iraq and how truly sorry I am for what is happening with this beautiful country. The music about Baghdad made me love Baghdad and think about it's calm night, the green lights coming from mosques, mild evening wind, the light smell of jazzmen/other flowers- just as I love Damascus .

In the end..No matter how much blood will be lost, Iraq will survive..Lebanon will survive..And hopefully, Iraq's treasures, people like Naseer shamma and other intellectuals..Will finally..finaly..Go back to the country that needs them.
The best thing for last : some of his music here (pick قطع موسيقية)..And if you like it as well, do like me..Go buy some, now!!
Found also an interesting interview on that site ..It ends like this:

حمد منصور:- أنا بشكرك شكرا جزيلا نصير باسم المشاهدين جميعا باسم قناة الجزيرة على ما تفضلت به ونأمل أيضا أن يفهم الناس ويدرك أن هناك مبدعون في العالم العربي في كافة المجالات بما فيها مجال الموسيقى كمجال إبداع أساسي ولكن للأسف ربما وسائل الإعلام لا تسلط الضوء ولا تعطى الفرصة كما تعطى للأشياء الأخرى لكن نحن سنستمر في الإضاءات هذه ويوم ثمانية و
I just have to عشرين هsay : indeed! How come I only hear and see "musicians" like Haifa and Nancy everywhere( TV, magazines) , and not hear about guys like him..
