You can remix it, play with it, cut it, edit it, slow it down, make it faster – do whatever you want with it – be creative – and after you’re done, we want to hear it so post it on our page.

Enjoy

I hope this message finds you inspired as always,

I will be visiting Amman in few days.

I have so many new stories to share with you and my friends; stories about Beirut, about a wife-to-be seeking marriage for economic stability, a melancholic revolutionary giving in to his society, and the lover of an irresponsible member of the city’s bourgeoisie.

I’ve been craving to see you for some time now. It’s been a while. I miss seeing you.

Hana malhas will be joining me at the Citadel [jabal al Qala’a] on Saturday September 10th and Zeid and the Wings on September 11th.

I cannot describe how excited I am to have you with me on these two nights. You can find out more details on:

On another note, Wajih decided he wants an extreme makeover. You can download the master tracks for the song from our website’s download section [www.mashrou3leila.com]. Remix it, play with it, cut it, edit it, slow it down, make it faster – do whatever you want with it – be creative – and after you’re done, I want to hear it and share it with my friends…

My sister asked about you today. I knew she was on to us. I told her everything. She misses you too.

El hal romancy, bas mish ghalat.

Leila’s super-excited for this one. El Hal Romancy – a video… This time.. she wanted to hold the camera – she wouldn’t pose for this one, she just wouldn’t.

She grabbed the camera with few of her friends, few lovers and a bride and attacked Beirut. Beirut wasn’t enough, she attacked Trablus. Trablus wasn’t enough, but there was no money and no time left. She came back with this.

watch it – share it – post it on your walls – spread the word – and come kiss Leila on the 29th.

I hope this message finds you inspired, healthy, and in good spirits.

As you might have picked up from my previous messages, I’ve been working on a new E.P. for some time.

If you’re feeling supportive, it’s available for download on iTunes and on Amazon. You can buy it here:

Otherwise, if you can’t buy it online, then you can download it for free off of the band’s website. We have worked so much on the music, recording and mixing it ourselves – so we wouldn’t have to answer to any music bureaucrats – we’re more than happy to share it with you for free. you can download it on this link:

While you’re at the site make sure you check out the photographs Tarek Moukkadem took of us and George Awde took for us for the album art.

Also, the E.P. will be available in print with the album art, the way all music should be kept, as of the 29th of July at the launch at the Hippodrome. I hope you can make it. Salma, my sister, said to me once “dance is for the theatre, or the eyes of a loved one, and when you’re lucky, those two aren’t the same.” I’m not sure I believe that, but either way I’d love little more than to know you are in the crowd while I dance.

Morning kisses on your right eyelid…
