Mohammed Assaf is all tuned in for Abu Dhabi F1 concert.

         

Ever since winning last year’s Arab Idol, the Palestinian has been touring the world, performing a variety of covers ranging from Palestinian and Lebanese folk songs to Khaleeji pop.

With his self-titled debut album out last month through MBC’s Platinum Records, Abu Dhabi fans are now set to be among the first in the region to finally hear some of Assaf’s original tunes when he headlines at du Arena on Thursday in an Arab music spectacular that also features Egypt’s Tamer Hosny, Lebanon’s Carole Samaha and the UAE’s Fayez Al Saeed.
With 13 new songs to pick from, Assaf says he is raring to go on stage.
“This is a big and important step in my career, because everyone was expecting the album, especially after the huge steps that I have accomplished so far, thanks to the fans,” he says. “By the way, allow me to say that I have always considered the patriotic Palestinian songs that I have performed on stage as if they were songs of my own, and that’s the way every Palestinian feels.”
