If you’re at the GiTEX Technology Week tradeshow in Dubai on Tuesday, why not step over to the Dell stand to hear ABRI, the first band from the UAE to be nominated for an MTV Europe award, in an exclusive interview with DJ Moe. Also let me know if you have any great questions for the band and I can see if Moe will ask them for us.
Dell is excited to be a principal sponsor of the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards - the perfect partnership that both celebrates the artists and their work - and the technology that enables individuals to bring their passions to life.
This year for the first time MTV is introducing a category for the Best MTV Arabia Act, so I consider myself very lucky that ABRI, can join us at GiTEX. Everyone I’ve spoken to here in Dubai knows about them and I quote: “Like the desert sun, ABRI’s music seems to come from all corners; a blended heat that moves the core.”
Some work days are good and some are very, very good. Next Tuesday I’ll get to meet the band in person and see the interview. After the interview the band will be handing out signed autographs to the audience.

I hope to film the interview too, so watch this space for my next update. ABRI is a band you don’t want to miss!
The Dubai-based band is built on the soulful union of vocalist Hamdan Al Abri and keyboardist Julian Symes, and is fleshed out with the musical styling of bassist Rami Lakkis and drummer Andre Atherley. Learn more about ABRI here:
