Zeid and the Wings

Zeid and the Wings is a project by Zeid Hamdan; singer, songwriter, musician, and pioneer of the underground music scene. Zeid is most known for previous projects including Soapkills, and The New Government.

Zeid’s latest venture, Zeid and the Wings, is an eclectic group of musicians and singers that came together gradually over the last year. Zeid placed an ad for ‘backup singers’ in early 2010 and was contacted by vocalists Yasmeen Ayyashi and Sara Barrage.

The band has been since been blessed with the talents of guest musicians such as ney player Bashir Saade and keyboardist Rita Okais and was later joined by Lumi’s guitarist Marc Codsi who added his own unique touch to Zeid’s already one-of-a-kind tracks. Gihan El-Hage, a third vocalist, joined the fledgling project in March of 2010.

The band is known for producing Arabic Folk, Reggae, Rock and Electro songs with an edge thanks to the blending of harmonic vocals with innovative beats.
