Al Manara - Nous aimons la vie autant que possible / ونحن نحب الحياة - مشروع المناره

Poem: Mahmoud Darwish
Music: Ramzi Aburedwan & Eloi Baudimont

Nous aimons la vie autant que possible
We Love Life If We Find A Way To It
ونحن نحب الحياة

Al Manara (meaning The Beacon) is a Belgian-Palestinian ensemble built on the collaborative juices and musical dialogue occurring between Ramzi and the Belgian pianist, conductor and composer Éloi Baudimont. The pair was introduced by Yanic Samzun, Secretary General of Cultural Presence and Action (PAC*), who viewed the two artists as possessing both great passion and the ability to cross musical boundaries. The repertoire builds on Ramzi’s and Éloi’s compositions, poems of the beloved Mahmoud Darwish, and an East-West blending of Palestinian melodies, European polyphony, big-band harmonies, Arabic and European instruments, and a host of historic and contemporary influences that have taken Ramzi into a yet-uncharted exploration of the possibilities brought to life by the bouzouq.
