"Before each new place my body tingled with excitement, a yearning for a new mystery to unfold, a fascination with a new culture, the possibility of new friends, tasting new food, smelling new tastes, absorbing new rhythms. Learning. Learning. Learning. It is happening again right now, my heart is abuzz with joy at the prospect of performing in Egypt. I’m so grateful and humbled for the impending experience."

In a recent Twitter post, the group announced that they "have friends flying in from 65 countries" for Friday's concert. The Pyramids of Giza have previously been the setting for iconic performances from the the Grateful Dead in 1978 and Yanni in 2015.
