“Una rama de olivo en una mano, en la otra una canción.” with Camila Abufom Saba & Loris by RADICAL SOUNDS LATIN AMERICA published on 2023-11-16T09:41:58Z A conversation and sound collage that amplifies the voices of Palestine’s diasporas in Latin America. Camila Abufom Saba writes: I immerse myself in Loris's musical universe, and her Middle Eastern melodies captivate me. I identify with those sounds that speak to me in a particular way. She is Mexican-Palestinian. Or vice versa. Her cultural heritage intertwines with the power of music to take us on a journey beyond nostalgia; it is a testament to the deep roots of our nation that endure despite time. In the diaspora, as well as under occupation, Palestinians are challenged to take on the responsibility of preserving and sharing our culture and stories. Some of us do this through art. This collage of music, sounds, and conversations serves as a medium, capable of amplifying our voices and reminding us that we are a resilient community, resisting victimhood. We are not only defined by trauma. Loris’ music dislocates us in space-time by echoing feelings and stories common to the experiences of exile. With this piece my aim is to further comprehend the depth of our origin concerning our modes of expression, the bridges forged between identities transcending borders, and the potential of music as a political force capable of transforming us at the most intimate level, weaving cultural connections.
