A Sense of Nostalgia. The Canadian Arabic Orchestra Connecting Arabic-Canadians With Their Roots Through the Power of Music

The Canadian Arabic Orchestra held for the second time in Winnipeg a wonderful concert to revive the time of the original Arabic music under the title Taaly Akolaic (Come, I tell you), organized by the Party Social Company in Winnipeg.

Zuher Almusre attended the ceremony and had several interviews with organizers and the orchestra conductor to explain the importance of this show to the Arab community and how music can help in the settlement process.

Raed Hamdan, CEO of Party Social, said on 'Civic Platform', that the presence of the Canadian Arabic Orchestra in Winnipeg is critical, as national Arabic celebrations are not usually marked in the city due to its relatively small Arabic Community. He notes that not having these celebrations can cause psychological challenges to the Arabic population and cause a sense of cultural isolation.

The Canadian Arabic Orchestra is keen to link the Arab communities with their ancient history through its multiple tours throughout the year in the provinces of Canada, all of which are experiencing a growth in the Arab population.

Wanes Moubayed, Conductor of the Canadian Arabic Orchestra, said that The Canadian Arabic Orchestra is a non-profit organization that has received support from the Canadian government, as part of its efforts to help fund organizations that contribute to the stability of the communities in it.  Recently this support stopped for them despite their giving performances throughout Canada and having 66 Arab musicians. Moubayed called on the audience to support the band through the questionnaire on their official page to continue this important cultural work for the settlement of Arabs in Canada.

It was an exceptional cultural evening for the Arab community in Winnipeg, with applause, dancing and singing with the band, and smiles.
