"In fact, the purpose of this trip and getting a chance to meet people is to tell them that, 'Hey, this is nothing like what you're hearing in the news. It's nothing like that.' "
-Ali Noor

It's such a simple concept, isn't it? Musicians traveling abroad, playing their music...changing people's minds about other people, in other places. Not politicians, not weaponry, not belligerence nor fear. Just music.
