Time with Zajel's is a time of celebration to me, a small party at the office, a gathering at the restaurant next to the University any place with Ala, Mira, Fawwaz, Wafa, Jihad… is heaven.
Last Thursday was different " music without boarders" where the band playing music that evening at the new theatre and we all where waiting this event.
The first time ever when I was dressing up for the concert I had that feeling of deep loneliness, that me going to this concert is pointlessm I dropped my hands staring at my face in the mirror and wondering why would I go? with all Zajel'z around me and close friends I felt like I need a more close person, someone who is attached to my soul, to taste and enjoy this music with me.
At 6:30 we were all there. Zajel's are receiving people at the entrance, and I stood with them and chatted a bit and laughed and watched people entering, Jalal was great, leading people to their seats and I was laughing and chatting with Wafa and Fawwaz. Mira was moving here and there.
At last the concert started at 7:15, we were seated and waiting, the hall was completely filled and people were waiting, the music started and the musicians were controlling us with their music and singing sometimes, the conductor of the band has a great voice with which he can lift us to the highest levels of excitement or to the deepest levels of sadness, music from different parts of the words were played and many languages I could only distinguish were sang.
With All the Zajel's around me and close friends next to me a feeling of deep loneliness was increasing, the music was soul and heart blowing, the more it became great and exciting the more I felt the need for someone to share me this pleasure and taste the music with me.
A huge emptiness and a wide distance was separating me from every one around me, was it the music or me??
