Radio Beirut

Interpreter: Various Artists
Label: Galileo MC
Location: Lebanon

The sound of contemporary, alternative Lebanon. As large venues are non-existent and radio is in the hands of 'entrepreneurs', the music scene is a do-it-yourself one. The soundtrack to this action is also DIY and scintillatingly varied, as this collection demonstrates. From the tech-chanson of Soapkills to the indie pop of the Incompetents and the reggae-pop of Zeid and the Wings, Beirut lives!
