Mashrou Leila

I would have to compare this band to Queen, because Sinno has the vocals of a god, and their creativity is astounding. The violin is amazing, and the messages of the songs are relevant and incredibly clever. Great show!

They put on a great performance, were very interactive with the crowd. I loved the new album. They also had very interesting and cool projections in the back, as part of the experience. It was on point with the album. There were a lot of pictures from Lebanon and its urban life, and it was cool to see it in this setting.

So this is my 3rd time seeing Mashrou' Leila. The first 2 times were in Lebanon and it was nice to see how they went from a small band to an awesome international band. Keep up the good work guys.

Mashrou3 Leila was blowing up on the spot-- they embodied everything they stand for: passion, love, resistance, dancing, emotion, and freedom. They transitioned seamlessly from up-beat rock anthems like "wajih" from older albums to slow, haunting melodies like "Bishof" and "Ba7r" from "Ra'asuk". The crowd was crazy for them. We fed into their euphoria and vice versa. They took us home for a few hours. They made us dance, cry, sing, and be proud to be young and Arab.
