here's a translation from the author - Stefano de Noi
"Rock music, which originated in the United States and further improved in the United Kingdom, has gone the way of globalization, going round the world like the sirian barbat (the ancient instrument from which the lute, the biwa and all the modern violins and guitars are derived), and continuously adapting to the culture, history and the feelings of peoples it reached throughout its journey.
Art is freedom, and music could be considered as the highest expression of freedom among all the arts, as it is free to move, travel and evolve. Thanks to artists such as Mashrou3 Leila, music can show us how to be free by introducing us to diversity.
Mashrou3 Leila (i.e. Night Project, more or less) is just one of the pithy fruits born of different cultures, one of those precious gifts brought by globalization. Folk, rock, jazz, pop mix together with the classic Arabian music, giving birth to a flowing, unruly and deep “corpus”, rich in color and taste.
Succeeding in mixing different influences and sounds into a harmonious, easy-listening whole with a strong hold is the greatest merit of the guys from Beirut. Each song is a singable melody that makes a hit, though many-faceted, and sticks to the ears of Occidentals, not too accustomed to sonorities coming from the other shore of the Mediterranean. Don't let the melody deceive you, thinking of sweet-sounding lyrics and widespread superficiality, as the guys beat hard telling about the meanness of present-day and the horrors of the past… your only problem might be hey do it by blending Beirut slang and classical Arabic, so you will have to trust me."
