Naseer Shamma - Happened At Al-Amiriya

[@salimiraq1985]

Translation to what Nasser said " I don't like to finish this evening, but I have to. ( Happened at Al-Amiriya) I wrote this piece inside Al-Amiriya shelter, after we took the children outside. statistic said there were 400 to 500 children killed, but I know we took over 800 dead children from the shelter (1991). Unfortunately, I witnessed that crime. Inside me, I look to it as the beginning of the new world collapsing. the collapse of morals, rules, and scales that control the human faith and resources. Al- Amiriya was not the only incident there were others. Part of those was because of the regime (Saddam gov.) and others because of enemies from outside Iraq. Perhaps because Iraq has an old civilization that laid a lot of humanity, since, education, art, language, literature, and orbit since. Everything we hear about today and enjoy today is because five civilizations lived in Mesopotamia. When the second gulf war stopped I asked Moaed Saed the manager of the Iraqi museum to open the museum and let me play on my Oud inside. The blood was not dry yet not in our vassals nether in the soil. The museum gate was built to close with brackets. From the outside looked like a wall. We broke the wall and opened the gate. I sat between two winged bulls each one of them weighted 37 tons. Behind me was the god of wisdom Nabo and on my left and right Shingles Babylonian captivity of the Jews. And all Assyrian life and all creative productions of Akkadians, Babylonians, and Sumerians. And all other civilizations that have been through this country like Our civilization. I played on my Oud and told the people "from here we shall begin". This is Iraq. This is the depth of Iraq. The present is not on our side. We must go out from this place to the future. We shall work for the generation that will come after us. We are proud that civilizations give us all these achievements, which only art archived. Americans wanted to destroy that land that I stood on one day (the museum) when I told the Iraqis from here we shall begin. It is like they came to Iraq (2003) to tell me personally "Now where you will stand", but I stand with a musical instrument that is 3500 B.C old. I don't want to say meaningless words, but with this instrument (Oud) I will expose America and Britain to the world"

شوف الحزن الي بعينة وهو يتكلم عن جثث اطفال مفحمين وعن حضارة ماتت قبل ان تولد..وعن حزن دجلة وفرات على مقتل اطفالها ...عن الموت الذي سرق ضحكتهم وابتسامتهم واملهم... لاحول ولا قوة الا بالله العلي العظيم...ومازالو اطفال العراق يموتون يوما بعد يوم... ويقتل الامل فيهم في كل لحضة وثانية.....ياحزني على الايتام وعلى اطفال الشوارع على كفل جائع عن طفل خائف...

بارع ومبدع حقآ أنت يا نصير. انحني لأجلك مطرآ. دمت متئلق. 🌹🌹

[@AbdelrahimRadwan]

I heard this masterpiece many times.. Naseer Shamma described the American and British air strike on Al Amyria shelter in Iraq where 800 Iraqi children killed burning in cold blood.. The piece started with children playing in peace and the calm atmosphere of simple joy, then the strike begins at the minute 8:25 , death, crying, horror, terror.. Then the sadness and mourning .. Then hope rises again from the land of of 6 thothand years civilization..Iraq stands up again..the flame of resistance and life .. At the end comes the national song of Iraq

[@ameerali7176]

الله الله روووووووووووعه الدقيقه 8:26 مرعبه تجعلك ترحل الى ملجأ العامريه تحت القصف والغارات الجويه واصوات صفارات الانذار صراحه اقشعر لها بدني احسنت يا مبدع يا رمز من رموز العراق

من روائع نصير شمه بصراحه

[@JacobA666]

أظن أنه يوجد مقطوعات اللي لا يجوز سماعها أكثر من مره لأنه في المره الثانيه ممكن أنه تنسمع بأقل جوده لكن أنا متأكد أنه في هذه المقطوعه لن يحصل هذا الشعور إن سمعتها لمره أخرى ولكن ليس هو السبب اللذي يمنعني من سماع المقطوعه لمره أخرى السبب هو مرتين بكيت أثناء مشاهدة هذا الفديو أثناء خطاب نصير شمّه وأثناء عزفه للمقطوعه ولا أريد سماع المقطوعه لمره أخرى بدون أن أبكي أو أعيش كل نغمه من المعزوفه أنا شفت كثير موسيقيين ولكن شمّه في هذه المقطوعه كان أكثر من موسيقي كان بمثابة حكواتي يروي قصة كبت،معاناة وحرب

[@ayyashC]

and a range of artifacts from all the civilazations that existed, Assyrians, Akkadian, Samaritan, etc. I played and told the people that here is where we will start, the present situation looks grim, and we have to rise from this place to the future, we work for generations to come, we are proud that generations before us accomplished much and only art was able to keep that glory.
