Center Stage Management (CSM) are putting up together their very first Urban Desert festival
at Dubai Festival City on April 18th 2008.
It will showcase some biggest Hip hop/Rap/R’n’B artists, headlined by Grammy award
nominee AKON, Fat Joe, Black Violin, with some great entertainment..
The concept is unique : a fusion of funk, hip hop and R'n'B reunited in a one day festival.
It will give a lesson of respect to those who only see the glitter (or unrespectful) aspect of this music genre, by
seeing Hip hop as a colture, a lifestyle and an art of expression.
This one off date is being preceded by a two date tour of South Africa (cape Town and Johannesburg), also
organized by CSM. Sipho Dlamini, vice-president of Operations who is originally South African, explains “It has
come time for the Middle East fans to experience a true experience a true Urban experience.. Urban Desert will do
just that and turn Dubai into a scene of expression for all ages, genders and colors, striving to make the music
reach new heights.
This is what Urban music is all about; it’s not about what you own or don’t, it’s what you feel”.
Rap DJ’s, dancers, a two-storey suspended bar as a world premiere, a graffiti wall and more activities will keep
everyone entertained in between performances, in a safe and enjoyable atmosphere!
