Adonis – Daw El Baladiyyi
Adonis is a collaboration between six Lebanese musicians with a very diverse and eclectic baggage of musical influences.
The band got together in summer 2010, and has been ever since experimenting with language and music, composing and recording, in a constant search for an authentic sound that would highly appeal to the local popular culture, and yet maintain its artistic integrity and vision.
We definitely need more of these bands, and less of Mohamad Iskandar and Najwa Karam!
You can connect with Adonis and listen to more of their music through their Facebook fan page.
Amusing flash mob at Beirut Airport
Two friends of mine just shared this video on Facebook! Looks like some of Beirut airport staff performed on March 5th 2011 a dabke dance inside the airport premises to the rythm of a Houwwara song, and it turned out pretty cool!
I have no idea why did they do it, but I loved how people of all ages were participating, kudos!
Update:
Here’s another video, shot on March 4th, of a rehearsal for the dance. According to Biba from +961’s page on Facebook, the dance was done for an ad for Beirut Duty Free.
The 90’s called…
… and they want their cover design back!!
Fayha Choir on Arabs’ Got Talent
Great performance by The Fayha Choir on Arab’s Got Yalent!
The FAYHA CHOIR, established since 2003, and conducted ever since by Maestro Barkev Taslakian, is sponsored by Safadi Foundation and Azm & Saada association. It supports the choir financially and morally, which helps it to improve and perform at its best, locally or internationally. The choir is composed of nearly 50 males and females members, from Tripoli and suburbs citizens, who represent the Lebanese population with all its religions, social, political, economical affiliations. The choir’s repertoire includes Lebanese, oriental, as well as French, English, Latin, Armenian and other songs. This diversity reflects the choir’s openness to the human heritage.
Thank you Nour!
Bank Audi’s music bands live at Music Hall
A friend of mine who works for Bank Audi invited me to a free concert they were holding at Music Hall where two of the bank’s music bands, “Band Audi” & “Audiyyat”, were performing to promote conscientious driving along with Kunhadi.
It was impressive to see these musical among Bank Audi’s staff, they were really good! Check the 2 videos I recorded, the girl in the first video has a striking voice.
Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange Project – Lebanon party was a blast!
It finally happened! The exchange party took place at “The Warehouse” Zalka, formerly known as “Galerie Vivre”, and it was nothing less than a blast!
I reached there at around 10PM, two Thai girls greeted us at the entrance before we made our way inside where almost everyone was fascinated by the the red lanterns that created a nice ambiance.
An hour later the place was all packed while people were still pouring in! The warm music ended at around 11:30PM I think, and a traditional Thai dance was performed by two girls, which marked that the party has officially began!
… and DJ Madjam quickly got the people in the mood.
By 12:30AM, everyone was wearing these Thai flower necklaces.
Definitely looking for the next party if there will be a second nightlife exchange! And now I leave with this video that I recorded while Madjam was performing. (I actually recorded several videos but my phone was behaving weirdly and for some reason I ended up with this one only!! Quite frustrating!)
Photos from Mashrou3 Leila at Byblos International Festival
I think Mashrou3 Leila is the only underground band to make it that big by performing at Byblos International Festival!
Lynn Bizri was generous enough to share with me some photos she took when she attended their concert on July 9th.
Ivan M. from Cafe Del Mar at Amethyste Lounge
Last week I got to enjoy Ivan M., one of the world famous saxophone players from Cafe Del Mar, playing live in Amethyste Lounge Phoenicia.
Below is a small video I recorded during his performance. The light is very low so you wont be able to see how the ambiance really was… but you will still enjoy his tunes.
Good food, great music, what more can one ask for?!
