Amir John Haddad "EL AMIR" will be joining the MARCUS MILLER band in Madrid (Spain) on April 12th at Nuevo Teatro Apolo as a special guest artist along with Josemi Carmona (Ketama) and Pepe Bao (O'Funk'illo).

El Amir had a first meeting with Marcus Miller on stage last summer at the Festival Cultura Inquieta (Madrid) and the experience was very positive and both artists connected musically.
