Check out this cool rendition of Warda’s Batwanes Beek by Anghami.
For their 5th anniversary, they recently gathered several musicians such as Jean-Marie Riachy, Guy Manoukian, and Jose Fernandez among others at their premises in Beirut to produce this cover.
Earlier in June Fayrouz released a new single titled “Lameen” from her upcoming album Bebalee, and just last night her daughter Reema Rahbany posted about a second single titled “Yemken” and this time it was inspired by Jon Lennon’s Imagine.
You can get it from iTune here or just wait a few hours until some people rip it and post it everywhere on Facebook and YouTube.
Fayrouz’s daughter, Reema Rahbany, has been posting a series of teaser-like videos on Facebook over the last 4 day all showing Fayrouz in a recording studio apparently working on a new single or album.
The videos have no caption or description but I really hope a new project is in the making. And if it is the case, then it would be interesting to know the musicians she is collaborating with. She usually works with her son Ziad Rahbany, but I recall he mentioned in one of his interviews that they were not on good terms over the last few years and I’m not sure whether they reconciled or not.
You can check all the videos on Reema’s Facebook profile.
If we’re gonna remember this summer for something other than the garbage scattered everywhere around the country, then it’s definitely for the low quality music that was produced for celebrity wannabes to get their 5 minutes of fame.
Here’s a quick list I compiled from what I have lately seen on YouTube. I’m pretty sure there’s more but I think 5 are enough to avoid any damage for your eyes and ears.
What does Merzabbi mean? And why did somebody feel the urge to write a song about it?
I honestly never paid attention to the music. This is actually the kind of videos that help you identify whether you are an ass or boobs man.
Nothing. Zero. Cero. Null.
Falls in the same category as #2. It can also be used during self loving time as well… you know self loving… w heik.
Tirachrach is so 2011! No wedding was complete this season without this one playing at least once during the party.
Uhh ok… and why exactly do you need a provocative video for that song?
So far, we know almost nothing about her except that she has has released one song called “The Mediterranean” and claims to have been on tour with Snoop Dogg.
I guess she will soon make it to Lebanese TV shows the same way Myriam Klink and Lara Kay did, and we will eventually learn what is she up to!
This one is epic!
This parody of The Chainsmokers’ Selfie is a collaboration between Olga Habre, Daniel Abdel Sater, Mark Abou Jaoude, and Beirut Night Life.
I’m not and was never a fan of Aline but I believe she gave an impressive performance singing Khidni Maak by her late mother Salwa Katrib. Moreover, I found it quite humble of her to audition for The Voice, while whoever appears once on TV here starts labeling himself as a celebrity, and singing competitions become a no-no for them.
Good luck to you Aline!
