Cambridge MA Woman Singing Sensation in Middle East




[From article]
Jennifer - from Cambridge, Massachusetts - is the daughter of a pianist and a violinist and started studying music at the age of 5. She says her ethnic background is English, Scottish and Native American.
She was studying opera at McGill University in Montreal when she first discovered Arab music.
In 2010 she found a video by the Lebanese singer Fairouz and got hooked on Arabic music, buying a traditional lute-like instrument called an oud.
'I've been working on it and practicing a lot and I listen to it all the time,' she told the show. 'I get a translation or I have one of my Arab friends do a translation for me.
'It was a little bit strange for my family in the beginning, but now they totally support what I do.'
She asked for a one-way ticket to Morocco for her college graduation gift and she has been living there since last year.

Racial Attack on White Woman Street Musician




Here's one more example of police treating white people differently, unequally to black people. If the skin colors were reversed it would be a national hate crime. This shows white people are being denied equal protection of the laws by racist police.

Tufts University Jazz Orchestra, Mambo!

Joel LaRue is the Director of the Tufts University Jazz Orchestra. On April 25, 2013 the orchestra performed a concert in the Goddard Chapel on campus. The Andrew Summerfield Septet performed three songs before the main concert. Cole Porter's Love For Sale; Roy Hargrove's Bop Drop; and Sam Cooke's Bring It On Home. It was a great preparation for the main course.

Vocalists Alexandra Wollum, and Marja Ritchie joined the performance. Here are some images captured at the concert. These students deserve praise for their dedication and the quality of the presentation. Apologies for the less than stellar quality of the images. The lighting was not the best.
