Arabic Sound Bite n° 4 - Live from Paris

Hey guys!

So I don't know if any of you actually went to the concert at L'International yesterday, but I did and it was AMAZZIIINNGGG!

Sadly, we did not make it in time for Lumi (they were supposed to go on at 8pm and even for Paris that is early!) but The New Government was amazing! You can download their music for free here if you are interested: http://www.thenewgovernment.net/tngsite/index.asp

On another note, my brother was visiting me here in Paris and left for Beirut today. I decided to check to see when his plane had arrived, and was surprisingly impressed with the Beirut-Rafik AlHariri Intl Airport website. When did this get updated?


Impressed, that is, except for the slight spelling errors... :P

For all you Lebanese in Paris...

If you guys are in Paris and interested in listening to some Lebanese underground bands tonight and tomorrow night, check out L'international in the 11th arrond.

Tonight The New Government and Lumi (my personal fav) are playing

Tomorrow it's Scrambled Eggs and Rayess Bek (who raps in Arabic and French)

If you want to listen to their music to see if you're into it, you can see each of their MySpace pages which is linked to from the L'international site. (Check out "Two Tears" or "Staying Here" by Lumi or "Samm" by Rayess Bek)

Entrance is free and drinks are cheap--so why not?

I'm going to be there tonight, maybe tomorrow, so see you there? :)
