A band together of Architecture and Design students at AUB got the conception of creating a mellifluous programme. After numerous nighttime crowd sessions, Mashrou3 Leila took define with Firas Abou Fakher and Andre Chedid on guitar, Ibrahim Badr on bass, Carl Gerges on drums, Omaya Malaeb on keyboard, Haig Papazian on violin, and Hamed Sinno on vocals.
They played numerous shows after which, their favour steadily growing with once upon a time, as reasonably as their attendant impertinent.
They participated in 96.2 FM’s “Modern Music Contest” with their ditty “Raksit Leila”. They and the other finalists played a corroborate at The Basement which won them the debate.
They went on to underscore numerous shows afterwards including the Peter F.

What they won was the certainty to press an album call of the aegis Incognito. Dorman AUB Presidential Inauguration: Student Celebratory Concert, Fete de la Musique 2009, and the Deir el Qamar Festival.
They were ditty of three bands selected sooner than Eka3 to pee on the “Leka@Eka33 walkabout in Beirut, Cairo, and Amman, along with Resalla, an Egyptian traces, and pianist/vocalist Aziz Maraka and his traces Razz, from Amman. This included workshops where members from all three groups would crowd together, and the results of these sessions were presented electrified.

-Sound: Mashrou3 Leila build compensate entirely the lament practical.
Today, the Leka@Eka3 walkabout is since and they are put to rout in Beirut recording their appear album and playing shows from once upon a time to once upon a time. It is lull, with lemonade tendencies, with elements of authoritative, jazz, and gypsy music, the latter scheduled first of all to the high-handed headland of the violin in their practical.

The accustomed lull instruments, guitar, bass, and drums are bring forth, while violin and keyboard (a synthesizer that is haggard to duplicate piano and not other instruments) attract a elaborate entity to the music. above all They build compensate adapted these “foreign” instruments to their practical, and they do not limit them to their basic genres, letting the violin into illustrative barely underscore tunes reminiscent of authoritative music, no, they swipe the instruments to wherever the ditty needs them to pee. There are not numerous groups who would do such a feature, so I extol them on this.

One of the beginning things you would indubitably mind hither this traces is that their lyrics are in Arabic. But it’s not sufficiency fast to intone in Arabic to cause to be acquitted my minute. Their lyrics are bit provoking, and evidence believe about on in many cases contentious popular topics, also featuring canny wordplay, into illustrative this traces from the ditty “Ouboua”: “Tic tic tic y’am Sleiman. Tic tic tic tic boom”.

The ditty “Arous” into illustrative is either sung from the female angle (something I myself build compensate barely seen Beck do, although I’m steadfast countless others build compensate done this before) breaking gender barriers, or no kidding sung from the manful angle, hinting in the direction of the question of homosexuality. This unobjectionable children’s ditty was transformed into a facetious perceive on terrorism and warfare in across the board (the “tic”s are those of a shocker, matchless to it’s unchangeable “boom”). Another ditty “3al Hajez” features Arabic pledge words in its lyrics, making a lusty declaration on advantage of talk and censorship. The ditty talks hither being unjustly held since at a checkpoint and misused.
