Concluding a pre-concert interview, Iraqi-American composer, Amir ElSaffar, asserted, “I don’t feel like I’m an ambassador for the Islamic world. With the music, it’s just, ‘This is me,’ and I don’t need to say any more.” In this video, the artists commentaries are interspersed with short exerpts from his March 3, 2018 Miami Beach concert.
