I was so glad to read that Ziad Rahbani will be performing in a concert next week as I’m a big fan of him. The concert will be held at a place called Event Hill near Le Royal Hotel on December 20th and 21st at 9PM.
Tickets will be available as of Monday at Boueiry Press Kasklik, Maarouf Saad Center, and possibly at Al-Akhbar as mentioned in Elie’s post, and will be priced at $40, $50, and $60 including an open buffet and regular drinks.
I trust the tickets will run out so fast but I hope I’ll get one for myself!
Check these two videos by Joe from Sting’s concert at BIEL which was part of his “Back to Bass” 2012 tour. I did not attend, but judging from the tweets I was reading I guess everyone had a blast that night!
Beirut Jam Sessions is the coming together of three passionate music lovers whose goal is to bring good music to Lebanon.
Those guys do so by featuring Lebanese bands and artists on their YouTube channel, in addition to bringing talented foreign artists, such as Emilie Gassin and Nadeah, to perform here in Lebanon.
Their upcoming concert is on November 27th at Solea V Sin El Fil, and will feature a 3 man band called “Pony Pony Run Run” from Nantes, along with a Lebanese band called Goldfish Parade (featured in the video above) who will be performing the opening act of this event.
Make sure to check Beirut Jam Sessions’ work on YouTube to get a glimpse of their taste in music, and if you’re interested in attending “Pony Pony Run Run” concert, tickets are currently selling for $25 at all Virgin Ticketing branches.
Let’s hope this is true. Al-Anba (A Kuwaiti newspaper) posted today that Fayrouz will soon be releasing a new album and is currently busy choosing the songs to be included in it.
I also hope she holds a concert in parallel as I still have never watched Fayrouz performing live, and totally regretted missing the opportunity to do so in the last few years at BIEL and Pleatea.
Joking aside, Kibbeh Nayyeh is probably the best Lebanese food selection, and is best made at the southern villages of Lebanon.
LYRICS:
I went downstairs to the fridge
looking for some kind of dish
maybe kabob or some riz
but you were in my way
So that is when I tried
to reach to the other side
to maybe get spinach pie
but you were in my way
Meat overflowing
ripped leaf mint was showing
olive oil a-flowing
I like where this is going
Hey, I just met you
and this is crazy
but I want to eat you
kibbeh nayeh
Hey, I just met you
but you look tasty
I’m gonna eat you
kibbeh nayeh
I don’t know how long it’s been
that you’ve been there in the fridge
I do not want to get sick
cuz you were in my way
Because you’re raw and not fried
don’t want to get E coli
because then I would have to die
cuz you were in my way
Meat overflowing
ripped leaf mint was showing
olive oil a-flowing
Appetite is growing
[CHORUS]
Before you came into my life, I wasn’t so fat
I wasn’t so fat. I wasn’t so so fat
Before you came into my life, I wore the small pants
and you should know that I’m getting so so fat.
