What: Meet and greet & Album signing with Sami Yusuf Location: Virgin Megastore, Mall of the Emirates Date: Wednesday, 10 Aug 2016 Timing: 7pm sharp* Access: Open to the public Important info: album to be purchased prior to signing *please arrive early to avoid disappointment Sami Yusuf is by no means your typical British celebrity; The Guardian named him 'the biggest British star in the Middle East', Time Magazine dubbed him 'Islam's Biggest Rockstar', while the United Nations has appointed him a UN Global Ambassador Against Hunger and recognised him as a promoter of world peace and harmony. 'In a world filled with so much anger, ignorance and superficiality, I felt compelled to explore more deeply my tradition which, in recent times, has become so synonymous with violence and news bulletins. The result of my findings and research is to be found in 'Barakah', celebrating 1000 years of musical tradition and heritage from North Africa to India most of which is sadly unknown to the masses' says Sami Yusuf
