Sitting in an empty theatre is probably an unusual experience for Qatari singer Fahad Al Kubaisi. "My ambition is to deliver a Gulf song… to the world in a way that doesn't lose its spirit," he says. When asked if the Khaliji music genre he's most famous for can break through, he's positive it will.

"For me, this was the most beautiful moment in my life, to attend and sing at the opening of the World Cup," he enthuses.
