Words are insufficient where the music of this Gospel singer begins

the healing and transformation process that has helped countless others

through the traditions of gospel music choirs.



As I labor in the rich immigrant communities of New City's 5 boroughs,

we learn to teach through the examples set in storytelling and song,

to which I invite you to become a member as we remember, Sept. 21, 2008,

tomorrow.



Thank you for inviting me to the healing… Continue

A MESSAGE FROM STEPHAN SAID

Many of you have written to ask what I've been up to and when the next album and music-as-an-agent-for-a-better- world thrust would hit the airwaves, blogosphere, and streets.

For the past two years, I've been writing and in the studio, having the honor to work with one of the most respected producers in the music industry, Hal Willner, with a band20hand-picked of the world's top musicians, who have dedicated themselves to make an album and group committed to changing music today, including Cindy Blackman, Rob Clores, Kevin Hunter, George Mitchell, Jane Scarpantoni, Yousif Sheronick, and horn legends Lenny Pickett, Howard Johnson, Art Baron and Earl Gardner. With your help, and the many international NGO's, journalists, students, and professionals involved, we hope to create a sonic movement for a more equitable society that can infiltrate the global mainstream, building toward the album's release in early 2009.

On Sept. 22nd, at 7pm, at Joe's Pub in New York City, I will be celebrating the announcement of my decision to reclaim my Arabic name, Stephan Said, in an op-ed and in interviews in major outlets across the world the week before, detailing my censorship before major label executives who insisted I could "never have a career in the U.S. with an Arabic name." The first step in the build up to the album release, the essay will detail my blacklisting for releasing free mp3's organizing for the Seattle and A16 demonstrations, and for being the first artist/intellectual to take a stance against the Iraq war in mainstream press.



A very special occasion for me, the concert will also debut the songs from the forthcoming album, with the all-star orchestra. Please see the invitation below for details. Tickets are available at www.joespub.com. The show is a shout-out for cross cultural tolerance that will benefit an advocacy campaign for Iraqi refugees surrounding the album release. As part of that work for what has become the greatest refugee crisis of our time, the concert will be filmed for the music video for my re-interpretation of Mohamed Abdel Wahab's 1937 classic "Aheb Aisht Al Huriya," (I Love the Life of Freedom), being made by Award winning Pakistani Film maker Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy and U.S. based documentarian Trish Dalton, in collaboration with crews on the ground in Baghdad, Damascus, and Amman. Special guests for the concert include fellow Freemuse ambassador Salman Ahmed of the Pakistani rock group Junoon.

I ask for your help in selling out this benefit concert online by forwarding this email, and getting as many of your friends who believe in the possibility of a better world to come and join in mainstreaming the musical voice of global tolerance.
If you want to help in any way in building this community, please write me back here.

Til soon, with love and warm regards,

Stephan Said
