“I think that it’s a very big deal culturally what we’re doing to bring these especially Afghanistan and America together in in music because music speaks all languages.”
“我认为，我们正在做的事情在文化上非常重要，因为音乐可以讲所有的语言，所以我们要把这些国家，尤其是阿富汗和美国的音乐融合在一起。”
Greenway and her teacher and musical partner Masood Omari play tabla,an Eastern percussion1 instrument every day in Greenway’s basement outside Washington.They call this colorfully decorated studio tabla’s sphere.“We play three different kinds of music, we play classical music and we play traditional music of Afghanistan and India and we play new music for the new world, we call it it’s our signature music and it is composed by Masooud’s two tabla’s players.”
格林威和她的老师兼音乐伙伴马苏德·奥马里每天都在华盛顿郊外格林威的地下室里打手鼓，这是一种东方打击乐器。他们称这个装饰华丽的工作室为手鼓的世界。“我们演奏三种不同的音乐，我们演奏古典音乐，我们演奏阿富汗和印度的传统音乐，我们为新世界演奏新音乐，我们称之为我们的标志性音乐，由马苏德的两名手鼓演奏者作曲。”
Greenway from Erie Pennsylvania and Omari from Kabul Afghanistan met eight years ago at an Afghan antique and textile shop in Washington.“And I realized that he was this amazing tabla player and I asked for lessons.I didn’t know at the time where this was going. All I knew is that I had a huge desire and force pushing me to to learn to play the instrument.”
来自宾夕法尼亚州伊利的格林威和来自阿富汗喀布尔的奥马里八年年前在华盛顿的一家阿富汗古董和纺织品商店相遇。“我意识到他是一名出色的手鼓演奏者，于是我向他讨教。当时我不知道这是怎么回事。我所知道的是，我有一个巨大的愿望和力量推动我学习演奏乐器。”
Greenway had a career in visual arts and has been a lifelong lover of all kinds of music.Coming to tabla has been a natural evolution for her.“When I saw first Abigail, she doesn’t understand the language of Afghanistan.She understand there the beat and melody and she was very exciting to learn and she learned Quickly.”
格林威的职业是视觉艺术，一生都热爱各种音乐。手鼓对她来说是一种自然的进化。“当我第一次见到阿比盖尔时，她不懂阿富汗的语言。她能听懂那里的节奏和旋律，她学得非常兴奋，而且学得很快。”
“I felt this amazing challenge and I wanted to play the music.I just couldn’t I wasn’t getting there fast enough for me, you know I wanted to get there now.I practiced many many hours. I practice every day.”
“我感觉到了这种惊人的挑战，我想要演奏音乐。我只是不能我还不够快，你知道我现在就想去。我练习了很多很多小时。我每天都练习。”
Greenway has also learned to play harmonium from omaree. “I never thought i would be playing the harmonium, so I had my first lesson on the harmonium. I fell in love with it.”
格林威还从奥马里学会了风琴。“我从来没有想过我会演奏风琴，所以我上了第一节风琴课。我爱上了它。”
After devoting years to intense study and practice, the duo formed tabla for two. Omari fled Afghanistan when he was 15 and resettled in Islamabad. There he studied tabla and received his Mastership before coming to the U.S. in 2002. “But what’s really extraordinary is that Masood is his singing and playing tabla at the same time. That is exciting.”
经过多年的刻苦学习和实践，两人组成了双人手鼓。奥马里十五岁时逃离阿富汗，在伊斯兰堡定居。在那里，他学习了手鼓，并在二零零二年来到美国之前获得了硕士学位。“但真正不同寻常的是，马苏德一边唱歌一边打手鼓。这是令人兴奋的。”
The duo plays at embassies, museums, universities and at the tabla sphere for special invited guests.They also have videos on their YouTube channel. “I believe that I have an important role playing and preserving the music of my country Afghanistan and sharing it with the world.”
两人分别在大使馆、博物馆、大学和手鼓世界特别邀请的客人演出。他们的YouTube频道上也有视频。“我相信，我在演奏和保护我的祖国阿富汗的音乐，并与世界分享这些音乐方面，扮演着重要的角色。”
“It’s just the beginning.I’ve just started learning about a place that I knew nothing about that has been so ravaged2 and I’m thrilled to show Afghanistan in a positive beautiful Light.”
“这仅仅是个开始。我刚刚开始了解一个我一无所知的地方，那里遭受了如此严重的破坏，我很高兴能以一种积极美好的方式展示阿富汗。”
