Adonis New Music Video and Concert

By Rami on February 12, 2019 in Music

The music scene in Lebanon saw the rise of several local bands over the last few years, but one of the my favorite Arabic performing bands remains “Adonis” which was formed in 2011 by Anthony Khoury, Joey Abou Jawdeh, Nicolas Hakim, and Gio Fikany.

Their music isn’t sophisticated and I simply like how they mix Arabic lyrics and traditional sounds with international influences. They first started with “Daw El Baladiyyi” in 2011, and then followed it with “Men Shou Btishki Beirut” in 2013 and “Nour” in 2017.

Adonis recently released a new music video titled “Shayef” which I recommend you check below. And if your like their work, then you have a chance to catch them in concert tomorrow night (February 13th) at HNGR Beirut and you can reserve your tickets here.

Five Tourists Lip Synced Ed Sheeran’s Shape of You While Touring Lebanon

I just bumped into this video on YouTube showing five tourists who documented their journey around Lebanon in an unusual way. They compiled several segments of themselves lip syncing and dancing to the tunes of Ed Sheeran’s Shape of You.

The best thing about the video is that it was shot using a smartphone with no pretentious acting or moves all while showing some nice places around the country, so not much energy was put into it but the resulting video was still pretty cool to watch.

Among the places that show are Raouche, Jbeil, Batroun, Saida Castle, Saida Old Souk, Harissa, and Baalbeck. I believe if this goes viral then it can easily become one of the best promotional videos for Lebanon!
