We talk about it as a tradition.
It is not a memory that was created and then covered by other memories.
It is a living, pulsating thing. That is being formed and re-formed.

We speak of it as an experience.
It is more than our music or our dancing; it is the way our bread smells.
And more: it's how music smells like our bread.

The Hamezi Festival is organized to consolidate and expand the "us" behind these two words.
