Meen (band)

In 2008, the An-Nahar national newspaper contacted Meen and asked them to compose songs for the yearly memorial event of Gebran Tueni.

[4][5] This event was recorded and later released as a live album, on December 8, comprising thirteen original songs in pure Meen style.

The band is best known for its humorous and sarcastic style, and most notably for performing in native Lebanese, adding a twist and a bit of flare to traditional rock music.

As stated in numerous interviews, Meen fervently promotes the Lebanese dialect versus the culturally adopted traditional Arabic.

The band members consider it only normal to sing in the spoken language of everyday conversations, even including the occasional English or French words that naturally occur in them.
