Baalbek is so beautiful. It is the heart of beauty in the Middle East - I want to embrace these people with my music. I will try so hard for them. Their president is a Christian, their prime minister is a Muslim. Music is for everyone.
I came to Moscow when I was 5 years old from Baku. To walk all night in Moscow will bring back my youth to me.
