A Wish takes its name from Hamza's longing to see a new Nubia created on the shores of Lake Nasser, the giant flood created by the Aswan High Dam. Like all of Hamza's music, it is a love letter to his home, and perhaps the most extensive realization of Hamza's vision of collaboration. In addition to solo oud and oud and voice pieces, A Wish features many of Hamza's friends, lending their distinctive voices to the music.

@Dah77

no doubt. but - and i don't know whether you'd call them "black africans" - let's not forget the bushmen of southern africa, the oldest people on earth, once all over africa, now pushed to the waste-fringes of stolen land, so that they and we are losing their and our link to original living, musical, and healing tradition. god bless THEM and god forgive us!

@Dah77 That's baloney. Hamza was African and Arab, as are ALL North Africans. The "black" distinction is not useful. The marginalization of Nubian culture in Egypt is real and Hamza spent his life making this known. But he never thought his people to be "surrounded by Arabs intent on pushing them to the margins of existence." He was far too concerned with creating connections between people to be bothered with such a destructive narrative. Allah yar7amu.

@Dah77  who the f u think ur to make such a statement. I bet ur not even an African

[sabaqat]

@twobluehorses ok

[twobluehorses]

@sabaqat Yes, a great evil but that was then & this is now & there are no warlords, no ethnic cleansing, tribal conflicts, religious wars & the rest of what prevents people from living peaceful lives. The people who "owned" the land before the whites took it from the people who were there before them & many of the whites were refugees from oppression in their homelands. BTW, I grew up among the Cheyanne, Lakota & Dineh & currently live on tribal. They are as you would be, my brothers.

[sabaqat]

@twobluehorses of course the reason they are all able to live there is because their forefathers chased the indians away since in your words "their skin color" and "religion wasn't correct," killing millions through disease, starvation, forced marches, isolation from the land that fed them, and warfare. Unfortunately Americans don't seem to remember those who owned their land before. But other than that, sure, i agree that America is one of the least racist countries.
