During their album launch concert in Beirut, Rama’s Whisper invited Slutterhouse lead signer Rabih Salloum on stage to sing an old Nazareth song called “Hair of the Dog”. Rabih Salloum from Slutterhouse and Ramy and Riad from Rama’s Whisper used to play that song back in 2000 in a rock n roll band called Kynslinn Tobacco.

The first trailer from our first trip to Beirut, featuring some of the best local artists and music by Zeid Hamdan / ShiftZ feat Hiba el Mansouri, Scrambled Eggs, DJ Lethal Skillz, LUMI & Fareeq el Utrush.

The electro rock singer got arrested for a couple of hours by Dubai authorities for foul behaviour.
