Caprichos de Apolo 2013: Mashrou’ Leila

Mashrou'Leila redefines Eastern indie rock from the music scene in Beirut. Sung in Arabic, it's music that gets its motor running with the strength of singer Hamed's voice, gets moving with the melody of the violin and races along with the drums, bass, keyboards and guitars. A language that mixes the roughness of rock, the delicacy of Arabic lyricism and the playful experimentation with pop and folk.
