Description: This tri-lingual greeting is the way most people say hello in Lebanon where Arabic, French and English are spoken daily. This show will thus showcase music in all 3 languages.
THIS WEEK (Episode 12): In addition to the usual music melange and commentary, this episode features an interview with Feross Aboukhadijeh, the Syrian American inventor of YouTube Instant. The show also features Ahmad Qousi from Jordan who discusses the music scene there.
