The concerts always start late, the introductions and translations take for ever, and concert goers come to listen to the music not the compares. Music needs no explanation; it speaks to the soul not the brain. Alhamdulillah we are being spared having to listening to Arabic, French AND English introductions that test our resolve to be patient in all we do.<br /><br />BTW, I have just returned from the UK doing charitable deeds and have no money for any of the concerts. The Sufi Nights are now past my bedtime. Do you need any assistants to carry your camera bags? Souad and I would be most appreciative if you are anyone else is able to assist. jwmjwm1951@gmail.com<br /><br />RegardsAbd Rahamnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18220453.post-83244408385845803922018-06-25T08:29:33.635+00:002018-06-25T08:29:33.635+00:00This vibrant and exciting review laments the absen...This vibrant and exciting review laments the absence of the English language during the festival. It's perfectly legitimate. But, in a French-speaking country crossed by modernity and exchanges, it is important to preserve and reinforce this French culture, so old and despite everything so fragile to maintain present. Our English friends do the same in Commonwealth countries where French tourists must at least know a little of Shakespeare's language. That said, it must be possible, when the show allows it, to synthesize an English translation.Pascalcontacthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816510958976128730noreply@blogger.com
