عندما تسمع عزف ماجد عبدالنور تعتقد أنه يستخدم العود التقليدي لكن عند تفحص الآلة التي بين يديه، تظهر أنها بندقية كلاشينكوف.
وفي التفاصيل، يقر عبدالنور بأنه امتلك سلاحا في منزله “لحماية نفسه” خلال أسوأ سنوات العنف التي شهدها العراق بين 2006 و2008، ويقول وهو يمرر أصابعه على أوتار عوده الحربي: “لقد قلت لنفسي: لماذا الحرب؟ لماذا العنف؟ سأحوّل كل هذا إلى موسيقى”، وعندما أحضر بندقية الكلاشنيكوف وصندوق ذخيرتها إلى أحد الحدادين، قال له هذا الأخير “ماذا تريد أن تفعل به؟”، “فأجبته: لا تطرح الأسئلة، فقط نفّذ الأمر”، ويضيف قبل أن يستأنف العزف: “أنا متأكد من أنه اعتقد أنني مجنون”.

Afterwards, he had it brought to a metalworker to be transformed into a musical instrument. (Photo by AHMAD AL-RUBAYE / AFP)

وقد تعرض هذا الموسيقي الخمسيني الذي يعمل مدرسا لإعالة أسرته في بغداد، لما يكفي من العنف، ويتذكر عبدالنور الذي خسر العديد من أقاربه وأصدقائه في اعتداءات مختلفة “فجأة بدا الأمر كما لو أن كل الروابط التي نسجناها لم تعد مهمة، فقد أصبح العراق ساحة معركة ضخمة، وكانت الحرب مستعرة في كل مكان”.
