An ambitious rock band from Lebanon wants to spread the message of what Lebanon is really about.
According to the email Doors To Aspiration sent me, they’re “doing everything [they] can to show the world something other than blood in Lebanon”. “We want them to know that a lot of Lebanese people are talented, sensitive, peace loving, caring and most importantly faithful. To those who don’t want us to live in peace, we’d like to say: “Do what you can and do what you will, but keep in mind that in the end only the righteousness of the Lebanese people prevail”.
Their music is playing in the US and has started winning some awards. I particularly like their song “Running Free In Lebanon” which has a nice little variation of our national anthem in it ( click here to listen to it, and if you like it, you can listen to more of their songs).
For more info, you can also check their website.

Good music,
I think they are alright, I would gladly go to their concert. I dunno what the people above who commented expect, or maybe its the good old Lebanese antagonistic attitude.
Very good effort. I hope that DTA will keep it up.

mediocre at best. But then again, when you have Feyrouz’s and Rahbanis setting the standard, who’s balsy enough to follow suit. These kids are certainly balsy, and I would say unihibited and untainted, but other than that, ba3d baddun fatt khibiz!
Alternatively, I would check out Ziad Rahbani’s 1980’s pet project, FORCE. Now THAT’S a band we can brag about!
