Madinat – Live at Radio Beirut

Madinat is a new addition to the growing rock scene in Beirut, Lebanon. A band of four young men – telling tales through sound & music. Living in a part of the world where centuries of civilizations have come and gone like the ocean tide. A city polluted with political corruption – torn & tarnished from the agonies of war. They’ve found a home somewhere lost in the chaos & wouldn’t have it any other way.
The city’s lows harmonize with high times beautifully…resonating in their daily lives.

In the early days, vocalist & guitarist Joseph Abboud and bassist Anthony got their kicks by jamming in basements – to hanging at bars in Byblos. Getting it right always takes time – but living in this part of the world makes it all that much more fun (and by fun – we mean total shit). They Grin and bear it as everyone does. Fast-forward a couple of cabs – some embarrassing bar tabs – and the quintessential late night kebab – enter drummer Philipe Dib & keyboardist Ayman Zebdawi. They are the latest additions making Madinat what it is today. The Band are in the midst of recording their debut album to be released in 2016 – produced by local heavy hitter and frontman of Lazzy Lung, engineered and recorded at Guerrilla Music Productions.
