🎶 A Tribute to Ziad Rahbani – Musical Genius and Social Visionary 🎶

This playlist is a heartfelt tribute to one of the Arab world's most influential and innovative artists: Ziad Rahbani. A composer, pianist, playwright, and lyricist, Rahbani has shaped modern Arabic music with his bold political voice, rich musical language, and fusion of Eastern and Western styles.

From the sharp wit of "Mash-had Zakaraya W Najeeb" to the soulful reflections of "Esmaa Ya Reda" and the defiant energy of "Khalas", this selection explores the many dimensions of his creative spirit — where jazz, classical Arabic melodies, and funk blend seamlessly.

Highlights of the playlist include his unforgettable collaborations with Fairuz, his mother and one of the most iconic voices of the region. Tracks like "Wahdon" and "Sallimleh Alayh" add emotional depth, reminding us of the intimate and poetic side of his work.

This is more than a musical collection — it’s a journey through Lebanon’s modern history, its dreams, its struggles, and its beauty, all told through the lens of an artist who never shied away from truth or complexity.

Press play, and step into Ziad Rahbani’s world.

Shabab و Disco Arabesquo - رحلة القلوب (journey of the hearts) vol.1

Using site recordings predominantly from Palestine and the arab world, Checkpoint 303 constructs soundscapes that weave cinematic audio with experimental sound processing and complex rhythms. Through its compositions, collected sounds and noise, Checkpoint 303 spreads a message of peace and a call for the respect of human rights. Contrasting with the mainstream media's exclusive depiction of violence and suffering in the middle-east, CP-303's sound collages also report on the heroic hope that subsists in the region as well as the seemingly banal but ever so meaningful little things that embody a daily search for normality in a state of emergency.

	
:: BIO

Checkpoint 303 (Palestine/Tunisia/France) is an avant-garde activist sonic project that creates experimental electronic music that aims at raising international awareness about the ongoing injustice and suffering of the civilian populations throughout the Middle East and the arab world. Checkpoint 303 combines field recordings performed in Palestine, Tunisia and Egypt with electronic beats, ...FX, oud and subtle oriental tunes.

:: Checkpoint 303 Live

One of the highlights of CHECKPOINT 303's live performances includes being invited by Massive Attack in several shows in the UK in 2007 and in France in 2008 and 2009. Over the last couple of years, Checkpoint 303 has performed electronic and live electro-acoustic sets in several countries (France, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Danemark, Japan, Australia, USA, Canada, Palestine, Tunisia, Belgium, etc.) spreading the word for peace, freedom and human rights through a blend of twisted electronica, downtempo, breakbeats, oriental riffs and field recordings...
