My music is my way to rearrange the world according to my own hopes.

World music is about taking things from different places and bringing them together - which is great.

One of the good things about globalization is it has created a single international music community, and I feel very much part of it.

If there's anything that would unite the world, it would be music.

Music can be healing, and with my history and my knowledge of both sides of what looks like a gigantic divide in the world, I feel I can point a way forward to our common humanity again.

I think that what I'm interested with is the creative side of music-making, rather than all the travelling.

I've always been attracted to multicultural music. It's where the world is going.

All over the world, the idea of creating an melange of international musics, it's a very healthy thing.

World events can shape culture. Music is either a soundtrack for or a narration of changing times. And who knows how that's going to go?

I like the idea of multidisciplinary conversations, so in that spirit, I try and make a contribution from the art world into the music world.
