Le sigh.
Last night was probably one of the best nights of my life (no exaggeration present.) I’ve been a Mashrou’ Leila fan for the past couple of years, but I turned into nothing less than a groupie last night when they performed live at Citadel-Amman. I just couldn’t get myself to go home after it ended (which I kept repeating over and over again to anyone who would listen hoping they’d take pity on me and take me with them back to Beirut.)
They were just so genuine and unpretentious and heartwarming that my heart broke a little when the music finally stopped. Trust me, you DO NOT want to miss the second concert tonight. They sound even better live somehow (Hamed Sinno did things with his voice I did not think were humanly possible, and all the members played beautifully,) all that combined with the beauty of the Citadel and you have yourself a night to remember.
Even if you’ve never heard of them before (shame on you for that,) by the time the concert ends you’ll feel you’ve been Leila’s friend for years. You can check their facebook page for fan-posted videos and pictures of last night.
