Joining him to make music will be surprise guests, local singers, dancers and instrumentalists, as well as participants from the audience. „I come to Abu Dhabi not as an artist with a ready-made program, but also in order to learn – from local artists, from local music, from the traditions.“ This promises to be a unique cross-cultural experience.
