We know we’re a bit behind schedule, but we’ve got to tell you about the gig that happened at The Fridge last week. It was unexpected and seriously enjoyable. I think a lot of us tend to forget just how many interesting people there are in Dubai. They came out that night.
Although it’s not the easiest place to find if you’re new to Dubai, the Fridge served as a great venue for the Hip Hop Symposium, as well as for another Doodle. Downstairs, we had sofas and beanbags, as well as delicious food available for hungry folks. Upstairs, the stage was set to welcome acts such as The Recipe (we love these guys – they’re amazing!), spoken word master from Lebanon – Hussein, the songstress Melisa Mestiza (also our hook-up at The Fridge), and some ‘wow’ b-boy dancers! The Brown Monkeys also came out to play, teaming up with Legion artists and Ubik to create a live mural throughout the show.
Check out these pics to see what we’re talking about:
