May the Facts Be with You Cal State LA Students Raise the Bar The Student Leader Awards recently honored the contributions of students and advisors Marcela Valdivia Staff Reporter On Tuesday May 9, Cal State LA came together to celebrate scholars at the University for the Student Leader Awards in the Golden Eagle Ballroom. The awards ceremony recognized students and advisors in activities, events, and contributions to student organizations. The Student Development Coordinator of the Center for Student Involvement welcomed students, staff, faculty, and administration to the awards ceremony. Students leaders and advisors in organizations were awarded for their achievements at Cal State LA and the Los Angeles area. “Through various events, programs, initiative planned and implemented these leaders have illustrated their dedication and commitment to enhancing student life on campus,” said the Student Development Coordinator of the Center for Student Involvement.
Among the attendees were President William Covino, Dean of Students Jennifer Miller, Vice President of Student Affairs Nancy Wada-Mckee, Dean of Graduate Students Elliot Brown, Executive Director of the University-Student Union Stephen Fleischer, and Vice President of Administration and Finance Lisa Chavez. President Covino emphasized the importance of being a leader and an example for other people to make the community and world a better place. He wants students to graduate and demonstrate leadership in their careers through multiple forms. More importantly, Covino highlighted that being a leader comes in the way one behaves and the way one behaves around others. “As we populate Cal State LA in this community and as we leave here as graduates we are always teaching people lessons,” said President William Covino, “We are really leading their thinking of what it means to be a part of the human community and to be compassionate, kind, collaborative, tolerant, and all those good stuff.” Christina Tsui, Coordinator for Alumni Programs and Engagement, presented awards to students who completed the U-Lead Program. Out of the 145

Cal State LA’s Educational Participation in Communities Program celebrates 50 years of service. Erron Franklin Copy Editor On Friday, the EPIC office now a part of the Center for Engagement, Service and the Public Good held a celebration for its 50th anniversary of carrying out its mission in the community. The celebration took place at the Golden Eagle Ballroom and many of the programs past leaders were in attendance to share reflections of EPIC and how it's evolved. EPIC started as a pilot project with young students who were enlightened, purposeful and coordinated group with one common goal: “To help culturally deprived individuals help themselves,” as described by Victoria Mosqueda, EPIC’s Director, who served as the mistress of ceremonies.

student to do something back in the community. Some were from the communities and others wanted to know about these communities,“ said Dr. Feliz Gutierrez. “We were not traditional college students. All of us and probably all of you here lived on a triangle. We didn't go away to college. We had college, we had where we lived and we had work.”
The celebration required the work of many of the EPIC employees who put forth an innumerous amount of effort to see this 50th anniversary come to life. Some say it’s indicative of everything that represents the program. “It was more of like a community effort and I think that also reflects what and how we serve the community as well.

Mr. and Mrs. Bayete served the EPIC office back in 70s and says it a place where strong relationships were formed. “I love EPIC. I maintain one of the best friends that I ever ever had in my life. I met a lot of people who had a big impact on mylife. I’m looking forward to meeting up with the people I went to school with and studied with,” said Mrs. Bayete. “Established in 1966 by Associated Students, Inc., and the Division of Student Affairs, the Educational Participation in Communities (EPIC) program was created in the wake of the Watts Rebellion of 1965 to help address critical community needs by placing student volunteers in local nonprofit organizations.”

CSI hosts annual evening breakfast for student organizations Ricky Rodas Managing Editor Organizations at Cal State LA frequently host all sorts of events for students providing them with opportunities to relax from busy school schedules. On Tuesday night, May 10, the Center for Student Involvement (CSI) hosted their annual Moonlight Breakfast at the Golden Eagle Ballroom; an event specifically marketed as a break to ease students’ stress before finals week.

Once they reached the food table, attendees were treated to a free breakfast meal of scrambled eggs, hash browns, bacon, and pancakes.

The theme was “the great outdoors”, and the room was decorated with camping items

The main organizer of Moonlight Breakfast was Campus Involvement Coordinator Sydney Torres. She briefly explained the process behind putting it together. “Once we have a theme, we build aspects of the event around it. In this case, we had a trail mix bar, canteen water bottle giveaways, and a Smokey the Bear photo opt,” Torres said. Torres was overall happy with how everything turned out, saying, “I think this semester’s Moonlight Breakfast was a huge success. We like to surprise students with new themes and this semester’s was the great outdoor.” Students will surely be back next year for some free food, free gifts, and some time away from stress-inducing papers and exams. If only the water bottles shut properly.

Class project promotes immigrant rights A class project focusing on immigration, brought immigrant stories to the campus, through an interactive display in King Hall. Mimi Li Staff Reporter The uneasy climate surrounding the issue of immigration stems from President Trump’s executive order. Immigrant deportation prompted some Cal State LA students, faculty, and administrators to act. Several faculty members began displaying posters outside their offices stating that they are, “unafraid educators.” The Office of the Vice Provost for Diversity and Engaged Learning created the Democracy in Action educational series, which touched on presidential powers and immigration policy. Last week, Students United to Reach Goals in Education (SURGE), a campus organization for undocumented students, held an event titled Stepping Out of the Shadows in which undocumented students shared personal stories. Students in Dr. Alejandro Covarrubias’ Latinx and Social Justice class are assigned a
major project for the end of the semester. This project aims to spark conversations and shed light on narratives surrounding migration, imprisonment, and detention that are often not included in mainstream media. There are four different groups of students working together towards the central theme of bringing attention the narratives of immigrants to and initiating dialogue with the campus community. Part of the project includes spreading the hashtags #CSULASinMiedo and #CSULANotAfraid on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. Students promoting the hashtags hope they’ll begin trending and create conversations surrounding immigration beyond Cal State LA. One group created cardboard cutouts of adults and children and placed them in various areas around campus. These cutouts, each with a different story of immigration handwritten on them, can be found placed sitting on a wooden chair in King Hall, or standing on top of the steps of the Music building. The cutouts featuring children emphasize their childhood carelessness, wearing butterfly wings or riding a unicorn. Sociology major Emily, who volunteers with the
organization Community Initiatives for Visiting Immigrants in Confinement (CIVIC), is a part of the group creating and displaying the cutouts. The various stories, she says, are collected from news sites such as Huffington Post or are the personal experiences of students’ families and community members. Some immigration stories came from letters from immigrants held in detention centers. “I've translated documents for people who are in immigration detention centers and have read many of the letters and you see many people escaping great trauma only to be retraumatized once they arrive here,” said Emily. “And many people feel alone in there, that no one cares or even knows that they are there … I wanted to do my best to honor their stories and experiences. Not all the narratives are one of complete isolation but rather they are speaking to how they are actively helping and supporting each other while they are in confinement with few resources.” The life-size cardboard cutouts caught the attention of Chanel Simpson, who is pursuing a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy. Simpson, who is involved on and off-campus women’s and LGBTQ organizations
such as Feminists United and Somos Familia Valle, says that the narratives of immigrant women written on the cutouts has stayed on their mind the entire week. "As I walked into King Hall for class, my attention was caught by the cardboard cutouts lining the entrance,” said Simpson. “I started to read a few of them, and found myself pulled into the stories. I was struck by the shared experiences of these immigrant mothers and womxn, who have risked everything to give their families better lives, and have lost so much in the process. It made me wonder how a country so focused on family values could find merit in tearing immigrant families apart, in taking mothers away from their children.” History major Yomara SolisCabral is involved in the group that created a visual display in the third floor of King Hall. The display includes a continuous video loop on two small TVs, with the backdrop of torn-up pieces of President Trump’s executive orders. The hashtags #CSULASinMiedo and #CSULANotAfraid are scrawled on top of the ripped executive orders. “The video is a visual representation of different social injustices in the United States,” says Cabral. “The first
part of the video focuses on police brutality. It shows the continuous excessive force used by law enforcement towards Latinos and African Americans. The second part of the video shows how immigration laws such as the executive orders 13767 and 13768, which were implemented in January by Trump. The last part of the video includes clips from different movements like the Chicano and black power movement so it starts from the 1960s up untill the present day by showing rallies and protests that have been happening in these past years.” A third group from the class contributed to the project as a whole by starting a clothing and necessities drive. The drive occurred during the first two weeks of May with several drop-off locations in King Hall. The donations collected from the drive will go towards local undocumented families. Lastly, a fourth group organized the Allied Student Mobilization (ASM). This purpose of this group would be to provide notifications and updates related to immigration rights, such as recent decisions made by the government or by Cal State LA, and future rallies and meetings. They also created the Instagram account @csula_asm to further connect with the campus community.

She still remembers receiving her first paycheck as a registered nurse.
She worked nursing and nursing administration for about 38 years. A single parent, she often worked two jobs, but still found time to attend Cal State LA part time to further her education. Juggling jobs and coursework wasn't always easy, but she coped during stressful times by telling herself: "I am knowledgeable, I am experienced. I am a Cal State LA graduate." Her can-do attitude is showcased in her work on her dissertation, which focuses on the experience of Spanishspeaking Latino parents and the issues English learners face. "Us immigrants, we come with the desire to do something better. To be somebody, to do something," she says.
Onofre Vazquez grew up raising chickens, cows and pigs on a small family farm in the province of Huánuco, in central Peru. She attended the local school until third grade, the highest level the school offered. Her father wanted her to continue her education, so she moved to a nearby city and finished her elementary education. She attended high school in Lima, the capital of Peru, during the week, returning to the farm on weekends to visit her family. She opened a school at Santa Isabel, a town in Huánuco, in a small room donated by the community. She worked there as a teacher and principal for two years. She later attended Universidad Nacional Federico Villarreal (UNFV) in Lima to become a professor of chemistry, physics and mathematics. Once she receives her Ed.D. in educational leadership, Onofre Vasquez plans on teaching at a university and continuing her research related to Latino parent engagement and English learners. Her goal is to help Latino parents and English learners stand up for themselves and empower their communities. "I hope that in my life I can contribute toward that," she says, "maybe in small ways, maybe in big ways."

Las últimas horas de Timothy Piazza Cámaras revelan cómo murió el estudiante de la universidad de Pensilvania Por Lissette Flores Tras la horrible muerte de Timothy Piazza la semana pasada, investigadores del caso encontraron importante evidencia de lo que realmente le sucedió al estudiante. El 2 de febrero, Piazza buscaba formar parte de la fraternidad Beta Theta Pi, y se encontraba en la casa de la hermandad para la iniciación de los nuevos integrantes. Durante la noche, el joven de 19 años de edad se intoxicó con alcohol, perdiendo totalmente la conciencia. Esto ocasionó que se golpeara una y otra vez la cabeza, causando traumatismo cerebral. Con la ayuda de las cámaras de seguridad de la casa, se pudo descubrir que los miembros de la fraternidad no ayudaron a Timothy sino hasta el día siguiente. Se descubrió que durante un lapso de 12 horas, los miembros de la hermandad lo golpearon, le echaron agua fría y lo tiraron de un lado a otro. Los videos revelaron que cerca de las 11:22 p.m. Piazza se cayó de los escalones del sótano, de aproximadamente 5 a 6 metros de altura. En las siguientes horas trataron de despertarlo golpeándole la cara y el estómago. Cerca de las 11:51 p.m. otro fraterno le dice al gran jurado que Piazza

tiene un moretón en el pecho y que creía que este necesitaba atención médica, pero otro miembro lo empuja contra la pared y lo hecha de la casa. El estado de Piazza para las siguientes horas es espeluznante. Según los videos, Piazza repetidamente trata de levantarse, se cae de cabeza en una baranda de hierro y aterriza en el suelo. Intenta levantarse una y otra vez cayendo nuevamente de cabeza. A las 10:48 a.m. del siguiente día, un fraterno llama al 911 pidiendo una ambulancia. El presidente de la fraternidad pide a los demás que se deshagan de cualquier evidencia de alcohol. También, deciden borrar mensajes de textos que los impliquen en el caso. Debido a los actos de
negligencia por parte de los estudiantes, Piazza muere en el hospital el 4 febrero a la 1:23 a.m. El patólogo forense determinó que había sufrido una fractura de cráneo y tenía un bazo roto, acompañado hemorragia abdominal interna. Ahora, ocho de los estudiantes enfrentan cargos de asalto agravado, homicidio involuntario y ocultación de pruebas. Los otros diez son acusados por cargos menores. En total, los estudiantes involucrados se enfrentan a más de 850 cargos. Lamentablemente, la muerte de Timothy Piazza pudo haberse evitado si los estudiantes no hubieran sido tan irresponsables con el alcohol y hubieran llamado al 911 a tiempo.

US Widening Income Gap Hits Home Covino Salary 2nd Highest of CSU Presidents Ani Nalbandian Copy Editor According to California public records, President William Covino was paid an astounding $392,000 in 2016, while some Cal State LA faculties could have potentially qualified for food stamps. Covino’s salary is the second highest of all CSU presidents, closely behind the President of CSU East Bay who made $395 ,000 in 2016. The CSU Board of Trustees Agendas lists Covino’s 2016 base salary as $320,000; however the Sacramento Bee’s State Salaries Database lists the President’s bonus at approximately $72,000. Covino’s salary made its biggest jump from 2013 to 2014, when it was raised $287,000. The average salary of a CSU President in 2016 was $316,000, nearly $80,000 less than President Covino. CSU President salaries do not include housing, transportation or travel costs. Covino’s total salary of $392,000 is slightly below Chancellor White’s which stood at $439,000 in 2016. This is surprising to say the least considering Chancellor White is responsible for 23 CSU campuses, whereas President Covino is responsible for one CSU campus. From 2012 to 2016, the CSU PIMS database reported that 1051 faculty members at CSULA were Lecturers. The California Faculty Association (CFA) in Sacramento reports the average Full-Time CSU Lecturer salary as $56,781 in 2015. Chancellor White’s Office published Fall 2015’s “The Employees of California State University,” which listed Cal State LA’s part-time faculty at about 56 percent. This means that 56 percent of faculty members are making less than $56,000 a year, many under $25,000, with little to no support from Teacher’s Assistants or Peer Mentors. California’s qualification for food stamps is $23,760 a year, which would qualify certain Professors or “Lecturers” for this social service. There is little incentive for good educators to become faculty at Cal State LA based on the salaries that the University is willing to pay. This problem was outlined in a report published by the CSU Academic Senate in 2005. The
Sacramento Bee State Employee Salary Database

report states that, “The CSU faces serious constraints on its ability to recruit and retain a faculty of high quality during the coming decade because of the serious and continuing lag of CSU salaries behind those of comparable institutions and excessive California housing costs.” The Los Angeles Times recently criticized the number of CSU managers that are hired as well. According to the CFA analysis of CSU Management Personnel Database, Cal State LA has seen the second largest increase in managers out of all CSU’s since 2012. An approximate 52 percent increase brings the total number of CSULA managers to 198 positions. A database published by the CSU reports that the salary range for CSULA management in 2016 was $48,000 to $259,000. Some part-time “Lecturers” at Cal State LA make half of the lowest paid Manager. The highest paid Manager at Cal State LA in 2016 was Daryl Gross, former Director of Intercollegiate Athletics. Gross’ salary was nearly five times that of the highest paid Cal State LA Lecturer. If you would like to express your concerns regarding the salaries of your professors, you can contact the California Faculty Association at (916) 441-4848 or Chancellor White’s office at (562) 9514000.

Twins from Saudi Arabia to Receive Doctoral Degrees at Cal State LA Commencement They became teaching assistants at Taif University’s College of Education’s Division of Special Education, where they taught courses for undergraduate students.
Cal State LA student success inspires many Public Affairs Office Contributor
In 2007, with the help of the Saudi government, the twins came to the United States and enrolled in an English language program. To learn English more quickly, they lived with two different host families, one in Riverside and the other in Irvine. In 2008 they were accepted into the Cal State LA Special Education Master of Arts program.

Emilio Flores/ Cal State LA) Fahad and Faisal Alnemary are twins from Saudi Arabia who studied together at California State University, Los Angeles. On May 22, they will march together across the Commencement stage and receive their doctoral degrees in special education. Their education at Cal State LA prepared the brothers for their long-term goal of helping people with developmental disabilities in the Arab world. “Without the mentorship we received at the University, we would never have accomplished all that we have done,” Faisal says. Added Fahad: “Cal State LA was an enriching environment where faculty and staff were really supportive of us as international students.”

For the twins, the Charter College of Education ceremony will be a proud moment in an impressive journey that began years ago in their home city of Taif, nestled on the arid slopes of the Sarawat Mountains. Born to parents who never learned to read, the twins are the youngest of seven brothers and three sisters. As they got older, they became interested in autism. While attending King Abdulaziz University, one of their professors suggested that they volunteer
at the Jeddah Autism Center. They started working as teachers’ aides in 2004 at the center, and a year later they became special education teachers there. With their increasing knowledge about autism spectrum disorder, they came to realize that they had grown up with a cousin who has autism. The brothers graduated with Bachelor of Arts degrees in Special Education in 2006 from King Abdulaziz University, with a focus on autism and behavior disorders.
Fahad graduated in 2011 with a Master of Arts in Special Education, with a focus on early childhood special education. Faisal graduated a year later with a Master of Arts in Special Education, with a focus on autism. Because of their strong academic performance, the brothers were accepted in 2012 into the Cal State LA/ UCLA Joint Doctoral (Ph.D.) Program in Special Education. Faisal Alnemary also become a board certified behavior analyst and Fahad Alnemary expects to be certified within the next few months. Their education has been supported by scholarships from the Saudi Arabian government
and fellowships from the UCLA Graduate School of Education. The twins have also found time to take part in volunteer activities. Fahad has been a trainer for the High Five Basketball League for Youth with Autism, while Faisal has provided behavioral consultation and parent training services for Palestinian parents and children with autism spectrum disorder. After graduation, the brothers hope to pursue postdoctoral research in autism at a university in the United States and then return to Saudi Arabia, where they have faculty positions waiting for them. Their longterm goal is to contribute to improving research and care of individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities in the Arab world. The brothers are married to women who are also twins, and they both have young children. The brothers are the first in their families to earn graduate degrees. They credit the support of their families with helping them pursue and accomplish their educational goals, as well as the faculty and staff in the Charter College of Education with providing a supportive environment.

Communication Major Selected as Student Speaker at College of Arts and Letter Commencement Ceremony Monica Roldan shares her past academic experiences before heading off to address Arts and Letters graduates Anthony Karambelas Staff Reporter This is it! Next week, graduation will be upon on us, a time for brand-new alumni to journey off toward exciting new destinations, diplomas in hand. Though all graduates deserve monumental congratulations, a select few students will receive the esteemed honor of speaking at commencement. On Sunday, May 21, at the College of Arts and Letters graduation ceremony, Communication major Monica Roldan will address all undergraduates and graduates as a student speaker. Her speech will directly follow the President’s opening remarks. Roldan grew up in Los Angeles, in the San Fernando Valley, with an early goal to

attend college. In kindergarten, she attended a field trip to UCLA. There, she found the inspiration to pursue higher education and has never backed down since. “College was never really an OPTION for me, but rather an inevitable destination for my future,” Roldan said. As a child, Roldan was never forced into anything by her parents. Instead, Roldan was self-motivated, planning out her academic career on her own. Upon graduating high school, Roldan watched
many of her friends moving away from home to experience dorm life. While that seemed attractive to Roldan, she remained steadfast in her goal to complete college without accumulating debt. After high school, she enrolled in LA Valley College (LAVC) for its cost and time efficiency. There, she managed a full time academic workload and job, even joining the school’s soccer team on top. After taking communication

Roldan developed a love for the subject, so much so that she earned an Associate degree in it. Coincidentally, many of her professors at LAVC had studied at Cal State LA, so they managed to get her in touch with professors from the BA and MA programs at our school. The rest is history.
At the end of the day, we must to do what makes us feel wholesome to reach a sense of self fulfillment,” Roldan said.
“I look back now and I regret nothing. I am grateful for the decision I made to transfer to and attend Cal State LA as a Communication major with an emphasis in Social Change & Rhetoric,” Roldan said.
“I know many of us are not JUST students. We have to balance full time jobs, internships, taking care of our families, etc. but try to find time to join a club (or make your own!),” Roldan said.
One of Roldan’s most significant and life-changing campus involvements was the Forensics Speech and Debate Team. It not only connected her to peers and faculty, but made applying to Graduate School less stressful.
So as she prepares for her speech at commencement, Roldan will be reflecting on all her experiences that will have lead up to the big day.
Additionally, Roldan also worked with Cal State LA’s Jumpstart, an early education program for children in East LA. The program pushed her maintain good grades, stay organized and become a more well-rounded individual. “It strengthened my ability to recognize and vocalize against injustices in my community.
In the fall, Roldan will pursue a Master’s in Communication and give back to the Speech and Debate Team by serving as a graduate coach.
“I’m super excited to give the student address for the College of Arts & Letters; I was told there will be about 6,000 people attending, so of course I’m nervous! But I have learned to embrace nervousness as a positive thing. I am humbled by this opportunity of a lifetime and I am so grateful for the platforms Cal State LA has bestowed upon me,” Roldan said.

President Trump Terminates FBI Director James Comey amid growing Russia investigations
As of today, Trump has defended the firing of Comey, who was at the time still leading the ongoing investigation of Russian Probes in the U.S. 2016 Election.
Kyle Frizol Intern Last Tuesday, May 9, President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, the man responsible and most recently recognizable as the individual who developed two investigations into Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, and the most recent investigation of Trump’s Cabinets’ involvement with Russia. The involvement in interference of the 2016 presidential Federal Bureau of Investigation election. News of Comey’s Former FBI Director James B.

Trump’s intention to fire Comey regardless of what his attorney general recommended, alongside the reality that Comey’s continuing investigation into Russia’s interference with the U.S. election, leaves Trump’s decision process under suspicion. The decision to terminate an FBI director without the recommendation or support of anybody in his cabinet; specifically those whose job it is to do such research and recommendation (i.e. the attorney general), portrays an agenda that fueled Trump’s sudden haste in firing Comey. Is it his uneasiness of the continuing Russia investigation, which Comey displayed no sign of allegiance to Trump’s presidential security, pressuring him to make a move? Just recently, Comey had asked the Justice Department for an increase in funding to continue pursuing the FBI’s
A few days after his request, Trump made the decision without speaking with his cabinet advisors to fire Comey - under the premise that, “it was my decision.” Regardless of Trump’s motives, the reality of the situation still holds; the FBI is still undergoing its investigation of Russia, and firing Comey isn’t affecting its course. On Thursday, Andrew McCabe, the acting FBI director following Comey explained, “firing Comey will not hobble the Russian investigation,” (LA Times). Though Trump’s intentions are still unclear, the FBI’s persistent message that the Russian investigation will still continue and will not stop until a conclusion is obtained, provides evidence and/or clarity of what exactly Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election was, and if the Trump administration was involved or not. It is still too early to speculate on a sound basis, but the firing of Comey may provide visibility to previously buried corruption and unethical intention through the presidency. Time will tell.

I am writing in response to the article, “EOP Accused of Suppressing Dreamers’ Voice” published in the April 17 edition of the University Times. The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) has been providing access and assistance to students at Cal State LA since 1968. EOP serves as the primary vehicle for the CSU in increasing the access and success of California’s historically underserved students (low-‐income, first-‐ generation college students). EOP is proud to incorporate the Erika J. Glazer Family Dreamers Resource Center (GFDRC) within our department. The staff is always available to any student needing assistance. What occurred between our staff member and the students was a miscommunication and was not intended to silence anyone. As the director of the program and an alumni of this institution, I was saddened that the article was published without any comments from me. I was disappointed by the missed opportunity to dialogue about the program’s role and to address issues identified in the article so that much of what was written could be clarified. I want to clarify that EOP employs the GFDRC student workers and has done so since the center was created. We provide administrative support, supplies and programming funds to the center. I look forward to working with the coordinator of the GFDRC, Luz Borjon, in continuing to improve services for undocumented students and the communication within our department.

The Luckman Invites Idan Raichel’s Cultural Celebration
Raichel played a variety of styles throughout his performance, mainly from the comfort of the Steinway piano that he sat before, only pausing to use his looping system to create drum patterns and percussion instruments that he had adapted for the show. Specifically, Idan relied on the Middle Eastern influences that he had grown up around in Tel Aviv and Israel, a style that allowed him to emphasize his deeply rich Hebrew & Amharic lyrics. However, in one specific song, Idan sang in English, which gave audience members the opportunity to analyze and decipher the style Idan developed in his songs.
Kyle Frizol Intern Los Angeles is home to dozens of cultures, which affords individuals the opportunity to delve into new and unexplored traditions and experiences. This very opportunity came last Saturday at the Luckman Fine Arts Complex, as Israeli singer-songwriter Idan Raichel performed a collection of songs to a sold-out crowd. Idan Raichel, a celebrated artist that has grown and developed throughout the last 20 years of music culture, has made a lasting impression on world music. Born in 1977 in Kfar Saba, Israel, Idan quickly learned how to play the accordion and then the piano, which he intrinsically studied throughout his early high school years. After serving in the Israeli military band regiment for a year, Raichel moved onto creative works with the likes of famous Israeli composers and musicians such as Cabra Casey and Ravid Kahalani. Ultimately, through his Idan Raichel Project in 2002, Raichel developed his own personal sound and quickly moved from a background singer and performer, into the spotlight as a lead singer-songwriter.

At his performance at the Luckman, entitled Idan Raichel – Piano – Songs, Raichel performed nearly a dozen pieces from across his discography, as well as singles from his newest album, At the Edge of the Beginning. With audience members filling every seat in the theatre, Raichel created a performance that left listeners singing along while Idan looked on. As he described during a lapse between songs, “…These songs are written in Hebrew, and I feel that they are best enjoyed that way.” Thus, for individuals who did not speak Hebrew, this was a very new and unique experience that allowed for an
early understanding to develop as well as appreciate a culture that is vastly different to what many CSULA students have ever been exposed to. For Raichel, through the path that he has paved in his music, the journey has allowed him to meet many individuals and musicians who had overcome great hardship to get where they are today. Most notably, Cabra Casey, an Ethiopian Jew who was born in a refugee camp in Sudan, freed herself, and went on to become a revered ethnic musician, notably performing on the Idan Raichel Project. Furthermore, as Raichel’s popularity continued to grow
Idan Raichel and his exposure skyrocketed, (multiple albums he had produced had gone multi-platinum in Israel by this point), he met and exchanged musical ideas with the likes of Colombian singers, such as Marta Gomez, who he recorded and co-wrote songs with during the Within My Walls album production. Alongside the group of musicians and singers that he met in South America , Africa, and Europe, he was allowed the opportunity to perform at international festivals and events, developing an understanding and appreciation for the world around him. According to Raichel “…through my travels across the world, I have grown as a greatly
During his performance on Saturday evening, Raichel offered both students and other listeners surrounding the area the opportunity to appreciate and understand a culture that is untouched and pure as it is performed by Idan. For Raichel, a man that was born and raised in Israel and Tel Aviv, this style of music is all he has known. B/y performing his own variation of Middle Eastern, Ethiopian, and South American influenced music and lyrics, audiences were provided a rich story and a new form of musical expression, all while maintaining a constant understanding of his message, regardless if audience members understood it . Through Raichel, language was not a necessity. The music spoke for itself.
