- Lebanese band “Mashrou3 Leila”
“We are trying to spread our music. We do sing about useful things. We do support free-thinking, religious freedom and gay rights…We can make a difference.”
– Ibrahim Badr (bass guitarist in Lebanese band Mashrou3 Leila)

My friend won’t shutup about them. Never listened. Maybe I will now.
Check this song out, especially the lyrics. And lemme know what ya think 😉
In my opinion, I do not think that a band should mention what do they support !!!
The difference will be made by the music they offer, not cause of what they support 🙂
Well, I think it’s a very brave move even though it might alienate some people who might have been fans. But if an artist or band has the platform to speak up about some issues, societal problems, or a cause they believe in…then why not? =)
Check this song 😉 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tnkk-gkEuxc
yeah, it is a brave move by the band but as you said, such moves might affect a wide range of fans that can reject such causes.
anyway, good luck for this band 🙂
Oh, God, they’re awesome! I’ve been in huge Mashrou’ Leila phase these months.
Their songs actually point out that they support gay rights and Hamed also wore a dress in Fasateen’s video, but that could mean anything.
a huge*
