It all started with Tala Tutunji wanting to do more with her piano concert… then the snowball effect hit! We started with 2 people on two pianos and ended up with 15 people celebrating our beloved Amman!

Oh my God… what fun… I know that in my heart that I need to work with youth and Arts… but this kind of art… so uncomplicated, so natural.

People who took part are:

• 4 on the stage performing our own Ramsey Tesdell, Lina Salameh, Aya al Tall and Ahmad Zgoul.
• 2 dancers, Arabia and Talline,
• 1 technical sound guy… the talented Yusuf Qawar
• 5 people reading texts about Amman, taken from 7iber and from the bloggosohere generally, Shaden AbdelRahman, Mohamed Al Qaq a.k.a Khobbeizeh (who also happens to have a brilliant voice) the incredibly creative Wael Atilli … and Samar Doudine… who truly made it possible… and without her… well what can i say?! And of course the one and only Nas, who was helping with the pictures, but who also was there from the beginning to develop the idea….

I won’t write more, since the whole story was written on 7iber…  and by the way… several initiatives came out of it, and several people took the idea and started expanding on it… which is truly great.

Here is the video that Ramsey did while we were practicing… Wael is still as hillarius as he always has been… and Khobeizeh… well meeting him was the highlight of 2008!

Oh yeah… we are in al Ghad newspaper… here we go
