01:00The melody has a drive, and something that really makes you feel wonderful.
01:15And it's just one part of a musical journey across Mexico.
01:19Sounds of Mexico brings together works from across the country,
01:23highlighting the range and diversity of Mexican music.
01:27The program we are performing this time, it has a variety of rhythms and melodies
01:33from different regions of Mexico, from the Gulf and the Caribbean,
01:39and then to the center of Mexico, and then to the Pacific, and then to the north.
01:44So it's going to show a little bit of the differences that exist in all these regions.
01:50Some of those sounds have their roots in mariachi and other Mexican traditions.
01:55But here, they're being interpreted by a symphony orchestra with a very international makeup.
02:02The Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra brings together musicians from around the world.
02:06This performance highlights Mexico's orchestral traditions as part of the 2026th Year of Culture,
02:12inviting audiences in Qatar to experience cultural exchange through music.
02:18More than 28 nationalities are represented in the orchestra.
02:22And for this Colombian tubo player, rehearsing this program brings back some very early memories.
02:29When I was a little, little, little, little child, three, four years,
02:34I still remember my father listening mariachi bands.
02:38And tomorrow evening, we will play some of the mariachi songs made for orchestra.
02:45So for me, it's like a small traveling through our Latin American deep tradition.
02:55But playing the notes is only part of it.
02:57Diameki grew up with these rhythms.
03:00And Diaz, since having a Mexican conductor in front of the orchestra,
03:03helps the musicians understand how the music is supposed to feel.
03:07For players coming from very different musical traditions,
03:10it means learning to find the same rhythm together.
03:16We have Koreans, Germans, Austrians, Americans, Latin Americans,
03:23people from all around the world.
03:25And we sit together.
03:29And we have only one mission.
03:32And it's to play music together.
03:35Today, we are just trying to think exactly in the same way.
03:41To breathe in the same way.
03:43And that international mix is part of a wider exchange.
03:47Sounds of Mexico is part of the Qatar-Mexico 2026 Year of Culture,
03:52with Qatari and Arab culture presented in Mexico,
03:55and Mexican culture brought to audiences here in Doha.
03:59The exchange in the culture is important for both countries.
04:03We present the both countries' culture for us as an Arab country.
04:09We show them our musical heritage.
04:11So today, we present the people through the music.
04:14That connection was there in rehearsal, too,
04:17with the orchestra playing both the Mexican and Qatari national anthems.
04:21But for Diamechi, music can make those connections without needing words at all.
04:27It comes from your soul.
04:29And it comes from your spirit.
04:30It's just a little touch of difference.
04:34And perhaps that's the simplest idea behind this concert.
04:37Musicians from more than two dozen countries
04:40learning the rhythms of another
04:42and giving an audience in Doha
04:44a chance to hear Mexico a little differently.
04:48Please join me with us on a radio by Running City.
04:49Thank you.
04:49And we'll rest.
04:49See you.
04:49See you.
04:49Bye.
04:49Bye.
04:50Bye.
04:51Bye.
04:57Bye.
