I was very keen to present Arabic music among the European and international musicians participating in the award.”

 “An important aspect of this award is that it sheds light on Gulf and Arab music and its development significantly. The organizing committee at the award was happy that it is the first time an Arab contestant has participated in this award. Because our music is completely different from European and global,” he added.
