United Arab Emirates

In this country, hands down, we stayed in the best hotels. at times on the beach!

view from my hotel room balcony

sitting modestly in a display case, i spied some greek pottery from 400 b.c. in a hotel lobby.

rapping at a press conference

this is a video still from our gig in Abu Dhabi

some students i had a chance to speak with. we spoke about the differences between our cultures and our lives. it was really informative. they were very intelligent and articulate. it was a rare opportunity to ask questions and to try and find out what it is like to grow up in an arab country

some students played a concert at a school that we performed at later in the day

Exegesis plus our sound crew in the Emirates. they did a great job.
