Scrambled Eggs is an indie band based in Lebanon. The band formed in Beirut in 1998 after the the end of the Lebanese civil war. They toured around Lebanon and Europe, and the band founded its own record label entitled Those Kids Must Choke. In 2007, the group was the subject of an article in Time Magazine about Lebanon’s vibrant music scene that thrives despite the country’s political turmoil.

“A” Trio is a Lebanese improvisation group founded by Mazen Kerbaj, Sharif Sehnaoui, and Raed Yassin. Formed in 2002 in Beirut during the second Irtijal Festival of Experimental Music, the three musicians went on to record their first free jazz album entitled “ A ”. Their music later moved away from its jazz roots towards a more textural approach, relying strongly on prepared and extended techniques for a heavy diversion of their respective instruments. After working together in trio and various other contexts for many years, Kerbaj, Sehnaoui and Yassin reached a characteristic sound that has been fondly described as “textural swing.” Creative yet simple, acoustic yet powerful, their live performances are playful and rely on a strong visual component.
