Munir Khauli was the first Lebanese musician to incorporate Arabic lyrics to Western Style Rock music when he released his 1986 album Heik 7a Nishtghil. His 2003 CD Tannin el Tarab included an all star cast of Lebanon's finest rock and jazz musicians. It was released on Michel Elephteriades' Eleph label Eleph Records. This live clip was recorded at a private wedding party in 2006. Munir's band is made up of: Walid Itayim on guitar, Mazen Siblini on keyboards, Abboud Saadi on bass guitar, Emile Boustany on drums and Stephanie Stephanou on backing vocals. The two songs featured here which come from his 2003 Tannin CD, are "FM" and "Ma Kbeer 2illal Jamal". You can download and listen to the songs at:
