ABRI is a four piece soul/indie band, formed in Dubai. Like everyone else in the UAE we are absolutely loaded. We drive to rehearsals in our customised Rolls Royces, our singer Hamdan has a solid gold microphone, and we often throw diamonds into the audience at our gigs. Our debut CD is about to come out and
anyone who buys it will get a free Nissan Patrol.

MTV Europe Music Awards 2008 Nominee ABRI, described as 'the best original band Dubai has ever seen' (Time Out). ABRI has recently been nominated for the MTV European Music Awards 2008, and their powerful blend of Soul, Jazz and R&B is sure to keep the crowds entertained .
Like the desert sun, ABRI's music seems to come from all corners; a blended heat that moves the core. The Dubai-based band is built on the soulful union of vocalist Hamdan Al Abri and keyboardist Julian Symes, and is fleshed out with the musical styling of bassist Rami Lakkis and drummer Andre Atherley.
Powerfully distinctive, the full extent of ABRI's talent is showcased on the band's debut album, Sunchild, released on November 1st, 2007. The album's 10 compelling tracks take listeners on a musical and lyrical journey, exploring real world issues that face us all.
ABRI is a band you don't want to miss
