Adonis
8:30 pm – 9:30 pm
Adonis is a collaboration between six young Lebanese musicians with a very diverse and eclectic baggage of musical influences.
The band got together in summer 2010, and have been experimenting ever since with language and music, composing, performing and recording, in a constant search for an authentic sound that would highly appeal to the local popular culture, and yet maintain their artistic integrity and vision.
The band’s first studio album is to be released in July 2011.

Fareeq El Atrash

Fareeq El Atrash is a Lebanese hip hop ‘live’ band, made up from the finest and most lyrical emcees, Edd and Cappuchyno, along with the foremost beatboxer and live vocal effects man, FZ.
On the local music scene since 2006, they are backed by multi instrumentalist Ghassan “Goo” Khayat and bass player John Imad Nasr. Fareeq El Atrash’s debut album embodies a generation’s state of mind. Their hip hop sound is laced with neo-soul, funk and rock, and their lyrical content covers personal storytelling from relationships and romance, to current social issues and political diatribes.
Madina
11:00 pm – 12:30 am
Issa Ghandour’s interest in music was inspired by his father, the late Hassan Ghandour, a well known Arabic-music composer/singer, who rubbed shoulders with Mohammad Abdulwahab and Faiza Ahmad among others.
Issa undertook studies of Arabic music history and theory, which led him to discover Andalusian and classical Arabic music. He studied violin and oud at the National Conservatory. Issa dabbled with theatre and music, and while in college he recorded his first album ‘Shagar el Yasmine’, which contained his first hit on the pop charts, ‘Oyoun El Soud’. After his CD ‘Is’alouh’, Issa turned to TV, acting in a series with Hussein Fehmi, Ma’ali Zayed and Sawsan Bader among others. His latest CD ‘Darwish’ contains ten of the most memorable songs of Sayyed Darwish.
