Abstract
I talked to my wife in Ram Allah a few hours ago, and I was wondering why I should continue playing music,…but then I realized that this instrument can be a weapon too.With those Words, Samir Joubran plucked the first note on his ‘ud. His comments are echoed by many of his Palestinian peers, who seize every opportunity to bring awareness to Palestinian suffering through their music. His first solo improvisation or taqsim immediately set the mood for a truly captivating evening of music and song, ranging from classical instrumental to nationalist to Arab folk and Palestinian repertoire. His performance was one of a series of events that took place in mid-October 2000, in Montreal, Canada, as part of “Rhythms from Palestine,” a cultural event organized by MAP, or Medical Aid for Palestine, a non-profit organization based in Montreal.
