BEIRUT, July 22 (Xinhua) -- Greek musician Yiannis Chryssomallis, or Yanni, said here on Monday that he aims at conveying a message of peace and tolerance by playing music on Tuesday in Beirut.
"As we can see, the whole world is tense, so we are going to tell the world to just calm down, accept and tolerate one another. This will be a simple and powerful message," he said.
Yanni believes that music has "a very powerful impact."
