Mashrou' Leila: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Музыка
June 24, 2016 by ANASTASIA TSIOULCAS • When we invited the band Mashrou' Leila to come play at the Tiny Desk, we couldn't have foreseen the timing.
The group arrived at our office the morning after the horrific June 12 shootings in Orlando at the gay nightclub Pulse. We were all collectively reeling from the news, and for this rock band from Beirut, Lebanon, the attack hung very heavily.
Mashrou' Leila is fronted by singer and lyricist Hamed Sinno, along with violinist Haig Papazian, keyboardist and guitarist Firas Abou Fakher, Ibrahim Badr on bass and drummer Carl Gerges: five young Beirutis whose family backgrounds reflect Lebanon's religious diversity.
Sinno is openly gay, and Mashrou' Leila is well acquainted with the targeting of LGBT people. The band has faced condemnation, bans and threats in its home region, including some from both Christian and Muslim sources, for what it calls "our political and religious beliefs and endorsement of gender equality and sexual freedom." And yet, when Mashrou' Leila performs in the U.S., its members are often tasked with representing the Middle East as a whole, being still one of the few Arab rock bands to book a North American tour.
After the attack on Pulse, the members of Mashrou' Leila decided to open their Tiny Desk set with "Maghawir" (Commandos), a song Sinno wrote in response to two nightclub shootings in Beirut - a tragic parallel to what happened in Orlando. In the Beirut incidents, which took place within a week of each other, two of the young victims were out celebrating their respective birthdays. "Maghawir" is a checklist of sorts about how to spend a birthday clubbing in the band's home city, but also a running commentary about machismo and the idea that big guns make big men.
"All the boys become men / Soldiers in the capital of the night," Sinno sings. "Shoop, shoop, shot you down ... We were just all together, painting the town / Where'd you disappear?" It was a terrible, and terribly fitting, response to the Florida shootings.
In all of its songs, Mashrou' Leila creates densely knotted wordplay; even the band's name has layers of meaning and resonance. The most common translation of "Mashrou' Leila" is "The Night Project," which tips to the group's beginnings back in 2008 in sessions at the American University of Beirut. But Leila is also the name of the protagonist in one of Arabic literature's most famous tales, the tragic love story of Leila and Majnun, a couple somewhat akin to Romeo and Juliet. Considering Mashrou' Leila's hyper-literary bent, it's hard not to hear that evocation.
In the second song, "Kalaam" (S/He), Sinno dives deep into the relationships between language and gender, and how language shapes perception and identity: "They wrote the country's borders upon my body, upon your body / In flesh-ligatured word / My word upon your word, as my body upon your body / Flesh-conjugated words." (The band has posted its own full English translations of these songs online.)
The title of the third song in Mashrou' Leila's set, "Djin," is a perfect distillation of that linguistic playfulness. In pre-Islamic Arabia and later in Islamic theology and texts, a djin (or jinn) is a supernatural creature; but here, Sinno also means gin, as in the alcoholic drink. "Liver baptized in gin," Sinno sings, "I dance to ward off the djin."
But you don't have to speak a word of Arabic, or get Mashrou' Leila's cerebral references, to appreciate its songs: deeply layered, darkly textured and sonically innovative. And sometimes, as Sinno says, the band's songs "are just about getting really messed up at a bar."

Kalaam is everything. I've listened to it every morning this week, five times in a row this morning. Gorgeous vocals, but I also love the bass line, and I like to watch the keyboard player finesse the music. Kalaam is the main reason I want to learn arabic, so I can sing it. I know, shallow. While I'm talking, this is by far my favorite version of Maghawir.

Luckily mashrou leila is well translated. As an arabic student, it can be a bit difficult with similar bands in lebanon to understand the words and the dialect. Kalaam is also my favourite song, it never gets old only deeper.
The Lebanese people don’t cease to impress me. They are so resilient, welcoming, friendly, cultured and fun.

i've been a fan of Mashrou Leila since 2019, this was my first introduction to them. I return to this video over and over again. the power and beauty in their music, there's nothing like it. their lyrics are so clever! And I don't even speak Arabic, just based on the translations there's so many layers and references, so it must be even more meaningful in the original language. I'll always love their music, and in particular the song Kalam (S/He) will always have a special place in my heart

I was on an Arabic flight recently; the music channels had a lot of Arabic music and I turned to a nearby passenger and asked if he knew of Mashrou leila, because he was Lebanese. I said they were a bit " haram", he said it's all Haram: love cannot be channelled into societally proper shapes, after all.

I just got to know the band now through the Berlin magazine for the LGBTI (and friends) community "Siegessaule". They will perform tomorrow evening here in Berlin. Unfortunately (or fortunately as I can't go to see them anyway) the concert is already sold out. If I hadn't fallen in love with them already listening to their album "Ibn El Leil", I definitely would have after watching this Tiny Desk Concert. Although Orlando seems kind of far away now, they really made my cry with their music and presentation! Guys, you are adorable!
This version of Maghawir is way better than the original one. Darker, more mysterious, and spitting the pain to your face.
I had no idea what the lyrics are, but the emotion translated instantaneously. That feeling is something no one can take away. Every hair raised.
I could watch this a trillion times becoz I'm deeply in love with these guys and Hamed's hand clapping. and how the songs mean that and then also that. so cute. Can't wait to see them live one day. God/Allah/a higher spirit bless you guys and thanks for doing these great songs and meaningful work! With all my love

Just one correction to the article. A mistake even native arabs also make, Laila or Leila (ليلى) in Arabic means the ecstasy of alcohol, refer to the Arabic dictionary (المعجم). On the other hand (Night) in Arabic is written differently ليلة. The band's name is مشروع ليلى which in this case means: The ecstasy project caused by alcohol. This might have been the band's secret story behind choosing the name, and I want to apologise for revealing it. Laila ليلى, is also an old Arabic name given for girls. As some of us might know the arabs were the first people in history to distil alcohol for beverage, they named each stage of alcohol's effect on the drinker.

laila is widely popular, so popular in fact that what it actually means is not well known. The usuage of laila for its dictionary meaning is non existent. The band was initially called مشرع ليلي (nightly project) and that was changed to its current name to play on both meanings, they are homophones.
