“Monologue” , is one of the recent music production composed by Akram Abdulfattah. It deeply reflects his unconventional and unique music style, creating a unique mix of many flavours of pop, jazz as well as the stimulating classical Arabic music. As he is famous for combining unique cross-cultural music instruments and bringing them together Akram has imagined 'Monologue' to be a dialogue with the Inner-Self, it is a string of conversations that questions the journey of a Human across time and space. It is a connotation of finding “Unity” in the Self, while discovering similarities in the richness of different music languages and culture and weave them together. Monologue is a musical quest that promises to fill your senses with a mild introspection. It breathes with the nostalgia of a lost self, that is eager to be found
