Some of the most famous revolutions in history have been soundtracked by timeless songs and music. While Lebanon is revolting against its corrupt regime, its citizens have turned its squares and streets into festival stages, and the music they’ve been blasting and chanting has been… let’s say, quite unusual.
From traditional Lebanese songs (Fairuz, Ghassan Saliba, Majida and more), to the most creative use of Bob Azzam’s Ya Mustafa, the people have shown a true creative sense of protesting. We curated a 30-track playlist consisting of national songs, hip hop anthems, and everything in between.
This YouTube playlist is a salute to all the young souls fighting for Lebanese people’s right to live, and a celebration of everyone fighting oppressive powers
