"Beirut and Beyond": A project that transcends Lebanon's borders in supporting alternative music
Today on Culture, we will learn about the Beirut Jam Project, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year. The project, started by individuals who are passionate about straight music models in the Arab region, quickly became a standout among music festivals in the area. It provides a space for meetings, shows, and idea exchange. With the presence of Christians in Lebanon at this time, we have seen ten different major teams, each with its own unique style. Beirut Jam Project has been bringing together musicians from various Arab countries and beyond to attend the festival. Over the years, Beirut has experienced a golden age in terms of art, especially with the Arab youth movement and revolutions. Unfortunately, many challenges, including security issues and economic struggles, have impacted the project's priorities. The program aims to support alternative music industry challenges in Arab countries, including Lebanon. The program supports artists at various levels, providing opportunities for training and collaboration. The Beirut Jam Project has evolved over the years, adapting to changing circumstances while maintaining its core values of promoting music and cultural exchange within the Arab world.
