THE BEIRUT SCHOOL
Product ID: 119749889
Mashrou' Leila have been described as 'the voice of their generation' and 'the Arab world's most influential independent band' by CNN and The Financial Times, respectively. Here, they mark their 10th anniversary with the release of 'The Beirut School' - a compilation of their classic tracks and new material. The album brings together the key songs from their first four albums, and also features three new songs: 'Cavalry', 'Salam' and 'Radio Romance', that were produced by Joe Goddard of Hot Chip from sessions in the band's studio in Beirut and at the legendary La Frette Studios in Paris. Review: Transcends language - I have only been into Mashrou Leila for 6 months and have their 1st 3 albums from which this hits package draws from. They are BRILLIANT and their music transcends language (they sing in Lebanese). The music is a fusion of Arabic folk, orchestral, and electronic genres and is beautiful. Not quite pop, not quite dance, not quite disco yet it is all of these. If you chose to search out their videos and translations of their songs, you'll discover that they are very political, supporting women and gay rights in the Arabic world which is in itself brave I am sure. There are also 3 brilliant new songs to enjoy. The sign of good music is when it transcends language - proving how universal good music really is. Congratulations on 10 years Mashrou Leila. Review: vinyl sounds really good. this album is a nice compilation of the first Mashrou' Leila albums. Cool artwork as well (cut out cover). No download code included though.

Disco davvero godibile, da una band libanese che sfida i pregiudizi in luoghi dove i fondamentalismi religiosi di ogni parte creano loro più di un problema e qualche rischio. Ma basterebbe anche solo la qualità della loro musica per giustificare ampiamente l'acquisto.

This is a pretty excellent compilation record! For the older tracks on here (i.e. pre-Ibn el-Leil) this is the first time they’ve been released commercially on vinyl. Definitely worth picking up.
