M A G N I F I Q U E!!!!!!!!MAGISTRALE INTERPRETATION.

MUSIQUE ARABO ANDALOUSE PATRIMOINE UNIVERSEL

CETTE MUSIQUE APPARTIENT A TOUT LE MONDE

[Bratrecord]

Now that you have made me see how much you are extraordinary, I can feel your soul sing, please?

[Dalaloula]

Tom, this absolutely amazing, you are a virtuoso and put a lot of feelings in your music, bravo! I am Moroccan and can't help to be touched by the way you play. Now to those who love arguing and politicizing music, can't you guys either chill and and enjoy heartfelt music or get a room for political discussions leave music alone!

[CarmineGuida]

This is gorgeous! Is there an album on iTunes of Tom Cohen?

[88memes]

also TOM looks like he's farting his facial expressions are hilarious

[88memes]

u steel the music.. u describe "falafel" as the taste of israel despite the fact that it is an arabic food.. u guys amaze me :D fuckin thieves, land thieves, culture thieves, i hope i could wake up and find u've disappeared from palestine, palestine will be free!

[Rahamim12]

@88memes Uh we've lived in Arab countries for Thousands of years, even before most Arab countries WERE Arab countries. And do i need to remind you that they expelled 800.000 of us after 1948 and stole our land and property? Its as much our culture as it is the Arabs. Fuck off you ignorant fool

[Katyusha666]

@Rahamim12 Ignore this dog, you need not abase yourself to the level of this ignorant fool.

[getout2012]

@88memes eat a dick fuckturd that should keep your mouth occupied with something better than uttering inane bullcrap

[acorduende]

Shalom Tom... its always a pleasure listening to your performances again and again; I love how you make your mandolin sound like an oud in the taksim.

Maybe this year I will buy an Arik Kerman(thanks for giving me his phone # last year!) mandolin like yours...Godwilling. Shalom Aleychem, Maestro.

(Note: the comment i left in French was for all the ''ethnomusicologists'' (pseudo) who foolishly try to put tags on your beautiful Art)

[acorduende]

qui importe si li musique est juive ou arabe ou amazigh? Le vrai art n'ai pas d'une patrie terrenelle; il est du Ciel... le roses en printemps n'avent pas de etnicite' ; mais elles sont un present pour tout le monde. Salaam/Chalom/ Paix.

[zackchadly]

but this is a famous Moroccan maqam al Hijaz al Mashriqi, that's just to remind those who don't know. thanks a lot.

[tarikotariko]

joli air, mais arrêtez d approprier la musique à tel ou tel pays, c'est du patrimoine andalous qui a voyagé tout autour de la mediterranée de l espagne, maroc, algerie ... et les sepharades maghrebins comme cette video en israel... bonne continuation tom, c'est bien de vivre la musique comme tu le fait

[Amrruk]

@tarikotariko Le patrimoine andalous et tout ce qui est andalous fait partie de l'héritage marocain.

[mtakman]

Turkish music with Jewish origin nice

[arokamsila]

@mtakman the name of this kind of music is "andalousi" and she is not turkish or jewish but maghribin" witch mean from algeria and morooco take

but the sephardi jewish had take it from theme

[kalbo38]

Waw Waw Waw Waw Waw Waw Waw Waw Waw Waw , formi formi formidablement bien jouer .

ca c'est du top cohen AOC.

[joey11965]

what israeli have to do with andalus 100% arabic culture, stealing the land and now going after the culture. shame on you.

[Amrruk]

@joey11965 Andalous is not arabic you idiot ! Its Moorish Berber the indigenous people of North Africa.

[joey11965]

@Amrruk hard to hard conversation with a dumb like you, did u ask youeself why no moosheh exist in berber language and why its all in arabic. read the name of the mooshah, asshole

[avantime23]

this Musique of andaluscia south of spain (musica de Moros ) cities like sevilla or cordoba

thoses ppl were muslims and jews extracted from spain on 15thcentury by christians most of them moved to North africa especially Morocco

[chaneztoxic]

iron chords for chaabi please no more dump questions sponge bobs square heads

[ilovemoroco]

c'est 100% Arabe il faut pas déconner non plus

que la chanson inspire d'autre cultures c'est bien mais faut pas dire n'importe

les arabe ont brillé en tout domaine à une certaine période mais ils ont gardé l'héritage culturelle scientifiques toujours d'actualité ,ils y'en a qui s'amuse à s'approprier cet héritage précieux je trouve ça honteux !

[Yehudittx]

Note to Helen Thomas: this music is a result of Jews living in North Africa for a coupla thousand years. They never went to Poland.

[rae0077]

They are playing the tune as it was composed but in different styles i.e. Original Egyptian version and the closeout of the play was Andalusian.

[qmaxvideos]

Shalom , en mi busqueda por Abba Elojim y la musica de Israel me encuentro con esta musica tan magnifica , felicidades por interpretarla con tanta excelencia que me inspira a tambien  formar mi grupo para interpretar musica Israeli y Ladino.

desde Mexico , Miguel Campos

[olaya310]

jewish musics so beautiful

[potshi]

thats prove that jews lived the whole time in peace with the arabs , jews where every where with the arabs even in africa and spain , but now israel dont want any arabs in jerusalim and palestine . israel has stolen our houses our culture even our food and our music

[ylju]

i am not a jew,nor am i an arab but i have friends who are jews and friends who are arabs and it looks like to me and many many other people in the world that israel needs to wake up...........what is this disgrace of war and occupation?........the earth is for all,not one

[soranB55]

It depends on what you mean by Israel to wake up ! Because if Israel ever go to sleep she will be eaten alive by arabs !

Hence Israel is a woke up nation!

[soranB55]

Nice arabic music !

Playing some other nation's music is not stealing ! It is written ! Ah ya Zin !

Going back to one's own historical land is not stealing either !

You arabs should try for once be objective and show some respect to the jews !! After all, jews are your cousins !!!!

Thanks for the loading !!!

[potshi]

r u stupid or wt ? who hate jews ? its not about jews its about israeli zionisim who killed and r killing arabs right now who have stolen our houses our culture our food and our music . they r saying now :

israeli falafel , israeli humus , israeli music .

[soranB55]

potshi

Don´t mention stupidity when you are stupid yourself! Who is killing arabs but arabs themselves? War in Yemen. War in Sudan. War in Libanon. War in Marocco. War in Iraq. War in Somalia. War in Mauritania. Instabilities in Eygpt, Syria, Jordan, Algeria...etc. All that and you blame Israel in killing some rats !!!!

Why don´t you go and practice your "thaqafit bol al-ba3eer" !

You can do that by googling " camel piss culture" ! That is what arabs are good at !

[potshi]

hhhhhhhh u r a zionist , do u want to see the arabic culture i will show u videos later ,

1- and now its a stupid zionist propagadanda wt u said . the one who r supporting this way of life in the arabic countries is USA , they r supporting the regiem of saudia and other countries ,

2- its not ur business how arabs live , its not an argument to kill palestinain !

the videos:

1-What The Ancients Did For Us - The Islamic World

2-A History of Muslim Inventions

3-Palestine History-ilan pappe

[soranB55]

You mother fucker of an arab! Do you have any idea what arabs did in Kurdistan?! You filthy thing! Look what arabs are doing to the people of Darfur!! Why the hell you don´t protest that? Where is your humanity then when it comes to other nations seeking freedom? Why don´t you protest Morocco dealing of Westren Sahara people? How about protesting Iran´s treatments of arabs in Ahwaz!! All that you forget and expect people to feel sympathy for palestinians?!!

What a moron?

[potshi]

ok u are an arab hater , i dont hate the kurd cuz salahdin was a kurde , im not gonna say somthing about ur mother , and do u think arabs love their goverment ? we hate our stupid goverment just like u , but u must know the one who r supporting this racist goverments r not the arab ppl, its the american goverment. learn history my friend . im sorry wt happend for u but its not cuz the arabs ppl its cuz the goverment but is that ur argument that israel has the right to kill palestinian childrens?

[soranB55]

Arabs destroyed 4500 kurdish villages. Arabs under Saddam killed over 500 000 unarmed civilians in Kurdistan! Yet you call me arab-hater? What you expect me to do? Thank the arabs for destroying my country?

Now, if you have reasons to destroy Israel, what reasons do you have in destroying kurds and Kurdistan?!

You blame the governments ?!! This has been going on for the last 100 years?

Abu Al-Qassem Al-Shaby said " Itha al-sha3bu yoman arada al-h7ayat....etc!"

Don´t you arabs want life?!

[potshi]

so i expect from u as a kurde to support the palestinian and not the israeli , the first demonstration to support palestine in the last war in gaza was make by kurdes in turky . . watch this video :

1-Shministim Israel Teens Anti-Zionist Anti-War Rabbi Weiss Christian Hatred Land Theft Mossad Zionism

2-Kurds support Gaza

[soranB55]

one more thing before I leave. We kurds are always for peace and for freedom to us and for others. Just the other day President Mahmood Abbas was in Kurdistan. He was received by president Barzani. Now our government of Kurdistan is accepting palestinians who are living in Baghdad to come and live in Kurdistan, This is because Iraqi arabs in Baghdad are killing them and make their lives like hell !

We are doing this out of humanity and nothing else! So, stop blaming everything on Israel!

[potshi]

u r stupid hater full of hate , the hate in u dont let u to think normaly anymore . i said i m sorry for that , u dont have to be a palestinian to support palestine u should be a human be , and i said im against wt arabs did with the kurd . dont u understand that ? look how also Jews r supporting palestine and those jews dont care how arabs live and which problem arabs have and i know kurd from turky who said the palestinan are heros and are their idols

[soranB55]

You are upset because an Israeli musivian plays an arabic melody?

Don´t you see the song title? Is that hebrew? of course not! it is arabic! So, this is not stealing. Any musician can play what he/she wishes as long as the originality of the music is mentioned!

Would you be upset if a british composer played this song?

Stop talking about Falafel and Humus!! We have them in Kurdistan too!! It is very stupid subject!

[potshi]

u dont understand israel , i know its arabic but those ppl said its their culture they dream from a land from egyept to iraq ,they said even that this music belong to jews and the arabic food belong also to jews , u dont know them so shut up , and they said : our israli/andalusi music ! its a jock or not ?

first of all they said : its urs , its ours , and then its my .

[soranB55]

If you steal back what is stolen from you is not stealing actually!

You arabs stole Israel from the jews first, and now Israel stole it back from you! What is wromg with that?

Israel belongs to the jews. If not, Where was their land centuries ago?!! Not the Bahamas I hope !

Afterall, jews are your cousins!! You have over 9 million km2 of lands. Allow the jews to have this 20 000km2 !! Where is your generousity?!!!

[potshi]

u r not even a real kurdy ur fuckin zionist who hate arabs

watch this video u idiot :

1-Palestine History - Alan Hart with Ilan Pappe

[potshi]

u r an fuckin idiot read the book of ilan pappe and dont learn history form ur donky in kurdistan . ur fuckin zionist .

jews lived the whole time with arabs even in spain and palestine belong to the arabs the arabs didnt kill the jews an take their land and the problem its not about land , tell me wt would u do if some one come to ur villige in kurdistiand an take ur house with violent and killed ur family and then said : u have the whole villige u can go there !

[potshi]

u dont know even ur kurdish history , u have no respect for salahdin . first of all go and learn ur history and dont talk about our palestinain history ur fuckin idiot .

[potshi]

u talked the whole time about humanity and kurdistan so u find the kurs have the right to have their own country and to live alone and u think also the palestinan have no right to have their own country ? so u r against that arabs killed kurds but u r not against that israel kill palesitians ? wt a fuck logic is that ?

[soranB55]

I'm against palestinian aggression on Israel. Fotunately most of the world supports and backs Israel.

It is a relief for everyone in the middle-east to have a strong Israel ! It is even a relief to your stupid leaders specially those in Jordan, Eygpt and Syria!

Anyway, did you eat Falafil today? perhaps Humus? In kurdish we say "nok" for Humus! But humus is not kurdish, nor it is arabic. It is Israeli and pure jewish food ! You should boycutt eating them !

[potshi]

ooo now i understand that , ur a kurdish jewish man ,hhhhhhh humus is jewish ?

and the goverment of jordan and eygpt r the best friends of israel , u couldnt even answer me , u talk like a bitch who need a fuck .

[potshi]

i dont think that the nazi had the right to kill the jews or to distribute them from Germany cuz its a German land for the german, so if the land belong to the jews i think also the zionists have no right to kill or to distribute the arabs and take them away ! so u can see now nazi Politics = israel Politics

so shut up u dont have any idea u r a zionist kurde , kurdish ppl are gr8 ppl with humanity feeling not with hate like u .

[soranB55]

I never thought of Palestine as the vagina of arabs!!!!! What the heck!!! I think you arabs are suffering due to your culture of " thaqafit bol al-ba3eer" !!!!!

You should drop this culture of camel piss and act civilized! War in Yemen! War in Iraq! War in Lebanon! War in Somalia! War in Sudan! War in Marocco! War in Mauritania! Instabilities in Eygpt, Syria, jordan and algeria..etc! what is left?! Shall we talk about the lack of human rights in the so called 21 camel-arab states?!

[Maroc4Amazigh]

WTF ARE U TALKING ABOUT???!!! FUCK YOU AND YOUR NEVER EXISTED KURDISTAN. There is no war in Morocco. It's a very stable country, so fuck off.

[soranB55]

Have you heard of the Westren Sahara people? What about the Polisario? Never heard of them? What about other arab countries? Did you know just the other day Hamas and Fatih changed some lists of palestinian prisoners? did you know how many palestinian got killed by both sides?

you scum..

[Maroc4Amazigh]

You are so fucking dumb, so because of that litle group, called polisario, you conclude that morocco is in war? So you say, Spain is also in war (ETA) and Ireland also (IRA) and Turkey (PKK). That is nonsense. Almost every country has their own separatist groups. And before you thi'nk i'm arab. That's not. Morocco is an arabic country, but 70% is berber/amazigh people. So we live peacely together. Not like you'r Iraq. Kurds and Arabs can't live with eachother, why not?

[soranB55]

If you are amazigh as you say, then you are that kind Amazigh whose parents have been sucking arab dicks!! kuss ummak !

[Maroc4Amazigh]

Fuck you. We only live together peacely without hate, like you kurds vs turks ore kurds vs arabs. We are 1 group, MUSLIMS. So we don't hate eachother. You think i'm an arabsucker?? Defenitely NOT, i respect them, but i only speak a Thamazight language. I don't speak arabic.

[Maroc4Amazigh]

And my grandparents (muslims) occupied Andalusiya (Spain) With arabs.

[potshi]

some streets name in israel stay in the arabic name and some of them changed to jewish names , thats mean they havent stolen palestine ? dont be stupid to say yes

[potshi]

its not ur fuckin business how arabs live , but i make more easy for u , if ur neighbor kill another neighbor , thats mean u can kill also kill them ?

so my advice for u : go and wash ur self from ur stupid americoisrali propaganda .

[potshi]

thats prove that jews lived the whole time in peace with the arabs , jews where every where with the arabs even in africa and spain , but now israel dont want any arabs in jerusalim and palestine . israel has stolen our houses our culture even our food and our music .

[potshi]

u have stolen our land and now our music .

[naturekiss]

music belong to every one, but the land belong to palestinian, and we, israeli people knows that, but .....................

[Maroc4Amazigh]

I don't know why the name of the song is: ah ya zin, what oh my darling means. He doesn't sing in this song, so i don't get it.

[berger123654]

Nice Playing>Tom Cohen is one of the best mandoling player in the WorLD!!! Respect...

P.s

All the Antishemic comments are irrilvent to him dont post them here

P.s 2

[Ryder1289]

Israeli m/f playing our instruments, FUCK YOU ASSHOLES, CONDUCTED IN FUCKING EGYPT 90 FUCKING YEARS AGO, NOT FUCKING ISRAELI!!!

[ezequieljait]

אני בשוק מכל ההערות הגזעניות האלו, תנו לגאון הזה להתבטא:)

[LiesRefuted]

Ah ya zein was conducted in Egypt more than 90 years ago by Saba basha.... now its a cohen product... ??!!!

[LiesRefuted]

Jews hijacked the land of Palestine, and they have been doing the same to the Arabic cousine, Music, and literature.... what next... Bandits and Larsens?

[berrouaghia26]

WHY WOULD A JEW SING THIS CRAP?

[widad1983]

hijaze + rythem marocain "filali". chanson egyptiene

[sdreghvbn]

music marocaine

[sassisch1]

Kudos to Tom Cohen! The work he and the Andalusian Orchestra of Israel is doing is phenomenal and goes beyond mere music.

[soulira55]

The best version of Ah ya Zin

[mustapho12]

Wonderful 5 * * * * *

[cactusjack111]

This type of music is a pure product of the "Çanaa style of Algiers".

This is more Algerian,than anything else.

[mustapho12]

awesome music

[mordjana72]

Tout à fait d'accord. Cette musique est la plus belle chose que les deux communautés (qui n'en faisaient qu'une) aient pu réussir. Comment ne pas tomber d'accord devant tant de beauté et de raffinement ?

[mozer13013]

it's algerian song... algeria fuck israel and the jews!

[metallica380]

you're sick:) it's a moroccan song, this musical scale is called "Al Hijaz El Mashiriqi". this scale is used in the moroccan andaloussian music and not in the algerian music ;) poor one:p

[mustapho12]

Merci pour partagé cette belle chanson avec moi

[moronthannot]

Why so hateful? It's just music! Leave the war talk for war videos. Music should bring people together no matter where you're from!

[metallica380]

luv you too , thanx :)

[6GoodBoy6]

beautiful music

[Methelin]

hey, are those nylon strings on your mandolin?

A very oud-like mandolin it is also...

Great playing, and great demonstration of how cuiltural mixing can produce pure beauty!

[tomcohen1]

Thank you very much!!!

Actually this are steel strings, and the mandolin isn't designed to be oud like.. I guess its the different styles of music I've been exposed to, and the "cultural mixing", as you said, that developed my way of playing...

Thank you again for the warm words!

[Methelin]

It's just that I recently bought an octave mandolin and i'm planning to put nylon strings on it. I'm curious to hear what sounds it might make. Thanks for your quick response!

[moronthannot]

I would not recommend putting nylon strings on...first of all, the nylon strings won't fit through the nut, and the tension on the neck required to keep the instrument in tune will not be provided by nylon strings. It might sound cool, but you'll run into problems that I think will be slightly undesirable.

[eveoui]

ahhhhhhhhh! quelle douceur! l'ame s'évapore dans le beau! merci merci je ressends cette mélodoe magistralement interprétée , merci

[eveoui]

merci magistral emouvant l'ame s"évapore dans le beau sentiment des notes qui fleurissent sous les doigts de l'artiste , somptueuse et riche douce merci!!!! 

[cactusjack111]

This is moroccan???!!!

What a joke!

It couldn't be more Algerian than this.

It is true that,the orchestra in question brought into play few very slight variations,than the Algerian "Touchiat" et "incirafates",but the overall structure of the melody is a 100% Algerian product.

[OneWold]

That was well done, you see if we were smart, we could conquer each others hearts with music, not bullets, Peace all.

[renatap4]

love morocco

[pavoloco]

Anyone have any idea what mode this is played in?

[tomcohen1]

This is in a Maqam (Arab mode) called "Hijaz". The impro in the beginning is in "Zidane" which is the Maroccan "hijaz".

[pavoloco]

Toda raba. I like this a lot. I don't want to mimic this, but I would like to play something similar.

Shalom.

[sharoniah]

I like it too. you can play on "Oud" like me... it is like to a big mandolin

[pavoloco]

Anyone have any idea what mode this is played in?

[jecovr]

beautiful!!!!!

[Havokeyser]

c'est aussi du folklore Algérien, pour les Juifs algériens ils connaissent bien

[mmoorrooccoo]

it's not algeriane folklor, i think it's andalous music.

[algernostalgie]

One of the most beautiful sound ever heard coming from a mandolin...thanks tom.

[masfreee]

Very nice good luck

[soulira55]

Wow, awesome !!!
