Assaalam Aleykum (Peace Be Upon You)
From an Interview with DARIA about the song, "Assalam Aleykum"
While teaching in the Middle East, I had a candid discussion with a group of Arabic women who were hosting my visit. In the conversation they shared a variety of very ugly statements made directly to them that showed how extreme prejudice was part of their everyday life. Hearing these statements, crystallized my sense that – as musicians and educators - we must work harder in every culture and every location for children who understand the value and dignity of all peoples. Prejudice and intolerance are not natural but are taught and; as educators, we can expose our children to world cultures in a way that creates little global citizens and a world of greater dignity and peace."

I Have a Dream
Words and music by Daria A. Marmaluk-Hajioannou
Dr. Martin Luther King had such a wonderful vision for a new world - A world of respect and dignity for all people. If we share these ideas – we can truly all be “kings”.

Now - more than ever, it's time to create peace. I wrote this song because I was impressed by the number of "Peace Poles" that I saw as I toured all around the world. No matter what our governments say... the world is filled with people who say no to war and YES to peace.
May Peace Prevail On Earth!
