Adonis at Dictateur: Concert & “Ma ken mafroud” video premiere

About a year ago Adonis had their first concert at Walimat Wardé. They had an affinity for using empty wine bottles as percussion, a fetish for vintage keyboard sounds, and they found absolute joy in making your hips shake when you least expected it.

Since then, they have released a disc, shot a video clip, participated in major concerts and festivals around Lebanon, tweaked their line-up to include the gorgeous Vladimir Kurumilian, and, most importantly, met amazing artists and musicians, who have enormously helped them shape their sound and find their place in the beautiful sound scape of this city.

One of those artists is Tina Yamout, a brilliant singer/songwriter with a drop-dead voice and a smile of velvet silk. They had the honor to collaborate with Tina on ‘Ma Kan Mafroud’, a track that was featured on their first CD, and for which we recently shot a video clip under the direction (yet again) of the super-talented Robert Cremona.

So save the date, as “Dictateur’ will turn into a concert venue where we will perform their new songs, play some old favorites, and premiere the video, in the presence of the cast and crew.

Tina will make a guest appearance during the concert, after which the notorious Underrated Crew will take over the decks for a set to make you feel less like it’s on a weekday.

Special Formula:Adonis is a musical project that came to life on the rooftop of an anonymous building, in an anonymous suburb of Beirut. It was sparked by a desire to create radical variations on local musical themes, in an effort to move away from the stagnant and recurrent modern pop music recipes.

Members:

Anthony Khoury – vocals & piano
Joey Abou Jawdeh – guitar
Fabio Khoury – bass guitar
Nicola Hakim – drums & percussions

Special Feature:20,000LL including one beer.

Tickets are on sale at Dictateur, or available at the door.
