Dear Friends,
I’d like to inform you that after several years of pursuing the opportunity of playing in Palestine, we finally have arrived at a real possibility of achieving this dream in February next year. There is a very important association in Palestine called Al Mada. Their work is healing traumatized kids and people using several means, but primarily art and music. Thanks to the determination of the great people in Ramallah, and with the help of UNRWA the group Shakti will play a free concert of ‘solidarity’ for the wonderful work they are doing in helping victims of conflict.
Have a wonderful holiday season
John

It’s a big gesture from you guys.
Let’s all hope that brutal theolitical war will come to an end some day.
Any south american tour coming?
With all my love and respect from Argentina.

Respect for John McLaughlin and Shakti Group.
I think very few musicians are able to do what you are doing Mr. McLaughlin.
We’re waiting for you to play in Albania as well. It would be awesome for Shakti to play some albanian tune in 7/8 or 10/8.
Greetings from Albania!

A wonderful event that speaks of the culture of peace and sharing as always plays the music in general and the Mahavishnu always.
None of these noble things must never be lost unnecessarily.
I want to be there and with my heart I’ll be there for sure!
I hope to be able to see another concert of Shakti.
God bless you withendless Love and Good Vibrations.

That sounds great! I wish you a peaceful Christmas, John – and another creative year. Your albums with Shakti are a source of inspiration, and I can only imagine how great it must be to experience Shakti live!

By the way, a few years ago I composed music for a television documentary about the political struggle in the Middle East, named “Palestine”: http://snd.sc/u8WVXo

It’s our honor as Palestinians to have a legend like John Mclaughlin in the Palestinian Territories. All the best, and respect.
Happy Birthday
