Travelling back to Beirut in the late 60s and early 70s for an hour of obscurities from the city's underground guitar band scene. Influenced by US and Western garage rock, beat and yé ye acts, Lebanese groups like The Cedars and The News blended these international sounds with local rhythms, and sang English lyrics with an Arabic slant. 

Many of these records are difficult to find, being recorded cheaply and in minuscule runs in the era immediately preceding Lebanon's descent into a 15-year long civil war. 

Selected by NTS resident Ernesto Chahoud.
