Gabriel Chakarji presents "Immigrant Tales"
Our human spirit is always in motion and transformation, reaching places, settling, and moving on. Anyone can feel like a foreigner in an ever-changing globalized world.
Our DNA can trace us back to unexpected places, but your birth country or citizenship can dictate a large part of our life path. The doors will be there, although many of them will be closed. It is up to us to find the keys.
Stories of the struggle to open those doors inspire every note of this music. The stories of doors that couldn’t be opened will remain forgotten, but we must pay homage to them also.
