 Well, my name is Said Kourt Mafi, I'm a Udettian Music at SOS and the convener of the performance program here. Today is the first day of our final performance exams and we are extremely excited about that. Some of our students are more experienced and professional performers working here on their own areas of expertise and some of them started learning their instruments with vocal genres just at the very beginning of this academy here. They are courageous enough to share on the stage what they have learned. Teaching at SOS has been kind of mitigating myself, you know, going back to my own tradition. Not many places where there's experts in their field, venerated musicians, who just happen to teach you five lessons on it to see if you like the instrument. I have fallen in love with the chorus. But I was teaching and learning at the same time, so thank you. What we are doing here at SOS is something beyond music studies. So welcome to our final performances. I think that the main reason why I wanted to learn this sport is expressive character, to express myself like deeply or maybe the sadness or something very powerful that I'm not maybe able to show beyond music. I need that space to express it. A great variety of musical instruments and vocal genres from all around the world, music traditions other than western art music and this is one of the things making SOS music truly unique. We're putting people together and, you know, cahon with chorus, with mixing, you know, but it really works because it's spontaneous and it's an encounter. Yeah, start from zero. It's very new to me. Everything is new to me. I love generally the sound and the aesthetic. Difficult is the challenge to learn it. It was a real challenge, yes, and still is, of course. When you play with a partner, it's just a lot of fun. I've been learning this for six months, seven months or something like that. I've been focusing on getting the sound of the drums. It's not so much about the physical instrument itself. It's not so much about developing the language and the tools necessary to generate a sound with that instrument that is faithful to a certain tradition. Seeing how much progress people have made from the beginning of the year, it's just incredible. I've seen three or four things in one. It's not like, you know, an intellectual exercise. I want to combine Colombian music with Roma music. No, it just happens because that's what we do here.
