Um Kulthoum, Abdel Halim, Asmahan, Warda ... What if we brought them back to life, not in a museum, but in a club?This is the bold, yet perfectly executed bet of "Love and Revenge," a visual and musical UFO led by MC Rayess Bek, landing in Beirut on July 16 at MusicHall Waterfront, as part of Lebanon Jazz. This concert-show is not a nostalgic vigil for dusty vinyl fans, but an electro-poetic explosion in homage to the golden age of Arab cinema and music. A futuristic tarab ceremony where archives and beats collide. "'Love and Revenge?' It’s a very raw sonic and visual rereading of modern Arab identity through the prism of vintage cinema and lovingly remixed music, and with some hints of revenge ... sometimes," said Rayess Bek, the mastermind behind the project.
