"Shababeek Beirut" is a romantic journey with a completely new sound, unlike anything Tania has done before. Grounded in her Lebanese roots and mixing Arabic melodies with electronic and acoustic sounds, this work offers a new musical dimension, new melodic elements with long instrumental parts and vocal scats, redefining Tania's influence on Arabic music in our modern times. The performance will be accompanied by a visual projection of her illustration work.

Tania Saleh is a Lebanese singer/songwriter who has been forging her own path in the underground Arabic music scene since 1990. Her voice is wise and true, a gentle blend of the traditional Arabic music she grew up with and the Western sounds she has chosen to follow. She writes about the daily worries of a troubled society, about love and hate and what's in between. Her music follows the rhythm of her daily life and reflects her changing moods, creating a boiling pot of melodies, feelings and a love for innovation. Her visual style has also helped to create a unique artistic image that sets her apart from the Arab commercial music scene.
