Performances in Palestine/ Nikki Matsumoto

I have performed in every city of The West Bank of Palestine between 2012 and 2019. I have visited there 8 times during this period in the hope for peace.

The result has been rather dissapointing. And I'm facing the reality that there is so little one man can do to change the world. Someone like Donald Trump with lot of money comes in and crashes our hope single-handedly. The world is so unbalanced. But I can't give up hope.

These are the moments of my music activity in Palestine. My accoustic band Rock Of Asia toured in the Middle East in 2012. The project with Hideshi Takatani in 2013. After releasing my solo album "Palestine On My Mind" in 2014, I kept on going back there for the people of Palestine. I have spent my own money to bring my band and did what I could for the peace. At least, I am very proud of that.
