Naya flashes the audience at Regency Palace
Naya had a concert at Regency Palace a few ago and apparently revealed much more than she usually does as she was dancing with her Dancing with the Stars partner Abdo Dalloul.

Covering Fairouz songs this way should be illegal
I have no idea how did the judges agree that this contestant in The X Factor Arabia performs one of Fairouz’s songs this way, he seemed more like a comedian.
Performance starts at 1m30s.

Ziad Rahbani & co. at the Blu Note Cafe Hamra
Here’s some good news for Ziad El Rahbani lovers. He started performing earlier this week at the Blue Note Cafe in Hamra with a band of 11 musicians and will continue until January 29th.
The program called “Orthoizoks und Rahbani Ziach” is comprised mainly of jazz music with lyrics in Arabic, French and English. Make sure to reserve early if you’re planning to attend one of the evening as I believe places must be running out fast (The Blue Note Cafe’s number is 01 743 857).
On Monday night the Blue Note Café hosted “Orthoizoks und Rahbani Ziach,” an evening of original compositions by Ziad Rahbani – Assi and Fairouz’s son. From his piano, Rahbani the younger led an 11-person ensemble of musicians and vocalists before a capacity audience.
“Orthoizoks und Rahbani Ziach” is comprised of such Rahbani tunes as “Spiral,” “Smooth Talk” and “Viva de Funk.” Those familiar with Rahbani’s oeuvres may have found the evening’s playlist echoed the one he staged for his UNESCO Palace performance in December 2012.
This multilingual program – with lyrics in Arabic, French and English – transported the Blue Note through several distinct moods. From romantic ballads to cool jazz, Rahbani and Co. worked to sate the eager audience’s thirst for soulful groove. Source
Dispute with Ziad Rahabni at Event Hill
I actually heard a lot of people complaining about Ziad Rahbani’s latest concert since it was poorly managed and because they were expecting him to perform more of his old repertoire.

A proposal flashmob at Beirut Souks
This video was made back in November but didn’t go viral probably because it didn’t have the best dance out there… still, the smile on the girl’s face was definitely priceless!
Ziad Rahbani in concert next week
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!
Videos from Sting’s concert in Beirut
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!
