Publisher's Synopsis
Cameron Powers has immersed himself in the Arab world, the Greek world and the Inca world. He has derived some fascinating knowledge about different ways of cultural being as a result.
Cameron and Kristina Sophia, who has journeyed through the Arab world with him, pursued their own brand of diplomacy as "Musical Ambassadors" and were on the streets of Baghdad singing popular Iraqi music with Iraqi citizens during the spring of 2003.
They have made eight trips to other Arab-world nations as well between 2002 and 2010 carrying their "Musical Missions of Peace" through Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt.
Cameron and Kristina were invited to perform for an audience of 60,000 Egyptians in the Cairo stadium in October of 2003 to help raise money for an Egyptian Children's Cancer Hospital. Subsequently traveling through Syria, they sang on the streets and in the homes of Palestinian refugees in a large camp near Damascus. The photo on the front cover shows some of these Palestinian children who spontaneously joined in the singing.
Back in America during parts of 2003 - 2016 they drove more than 100,000 miles to bring their uplifting musical and multi-media presentation, "Singing in Baghdad," and other presentations to thousands of American citizens in more than half of the states in the union.
Recently returned from more musical adventures in the Arab world, Cameron has written this "People's Guide to Basic Decency" to help others who desire to go through the personal process of spiritual soul growth which accompanies experiencing oneself as a truly global citizen.
Promoting a natural state of compassion which can easily exist between people in the absence of fear, author and musician Cameron Powers presents a glimpse into a very modern world with extensive internet connections but which simultaneously drinks from the ancient wisdom of the Dervish-populated realms of the Middle East.
