American "Infinitus String Trio" team relied on bitboxing in performing its musical performances in Cairo, with its three violin, viola and cello instruments; they mixed their jazz pieces with the Egyptian color after being influenced especially by “Omar Khairat" works.

Anthony, one of the Trio Team member, said that friends in Egypt were keen on introducing us to Egyptian music, so we learned some tunes that we liked especially, for the artist Omar Khairat.

Meanwhile, Alex, the cello player, explained that the experience of presenting their shows in Egypt, from the Hakawy International Arts festival for children, seemed like the dream that came true where they were praised to see places, which they were hearing and read about it in books only.

In addition, the team performed at Ewart Hall ceremony at the American University, they threw a party at 57357 Hospital, as well as another for schoolchildren in Minya governorate.

They noted that the children's experience of musical performances does not differ from one country to another, as children gradually merge with the music and show the same interaction.

They trio received smart questions from children in Egypt with some requests that they could not meet most of them. Noteworthy, the United States was the guest of honor in the 10-day Hakawy International Festival for Children's Arts. In the festival, three American teams presented their offers in cooperation with the Egyptian Culture Ministry, the Editorial Center at the American University, British Council, French Institute, the German Goethe Institute.

A number of embassies also took part in conjunction with the organization and management of the AFCA Center Arts led by its founder, Mohamed Al-Ghawi.
