00:00Thank you so much for having me.

00:49I invite you to listen, dear viewers, to an excerpt from the song Ad,

00:52enemy of the Lebanese group Adonis,

00:54the occasion to draw the portrait of this group,

00:57which represents the new wave of the Lebanese song

01:004.30 in the wind,

01:02and which in 10 years have imposed themselves

01:04as one of the best formations of the Lebanese and regional pop-rock scene.

01:09The group Adonis, these four young people to music,

01:12like a breath of fresh air, pleasant and energizing,

01:16despite the melancholy that often emanates from their lyrics,

01:20therefore a storyteller of love stories,

01:22memories of youth, separation, departure, return, hope.

01:26I suggest you listen to Abu Jaouda,

01:29he is the guitarist of the group Adonis.

01:32I am the guitarist of the group Adonis.

01:34We started at the base, me and Anthony.

01:36We were architecture students at the UB,

01:39the American University of Beirut.

01:42We started experimenting with sounds,

01:44I really liked rock music, everything that was western,

01:47and he was more into everything that was oriental,

01:49so we started like that.

01:51We did a few originals in 2010,

01:53it was a bit experimental like the initials,

01:56and people got involved,

01:58and we brought our friends with us.

02:00We have Gio Ticani, who is at the base,

02:03and Nicolas Hakim on percussion and drums,

02:07and Anthony on piano and voice.

02:14I don't believe in love,

02:16I don't believe in love at all.

02:25Between pop, electro and melancholy,

02:28a unique path that the four musicians

02:31who form this boy band have always cultivated,

02:34and who seem to be at the base of their success,

02:36as much in Lebanon as in the countries of the region,

02:39as in Europe, Paris, London or Berlin.

02:42Let's listen to Joey Abu-Jawda,

02:44he is the guitarist of the band Adonis.

02:46Our music style has evolved a lot over time,

02:49during the last ten years.

02:51We were more into folk, acoustic instruments,

02:54a bit of Arab, oriental instruments.

02:56Then we changed a bit to electro, pop.

02:59There was more electric guitar, more electro sounds,

03:02so it naturally diverged towards that.

03:05The producers we worked with during all these years

03:09had a great impact on the sound

03:12and the artistic direction of the songs and the album.

03:15The songs are composed by Anthony,

03:18he writes the music, most of the songs,

03:21and the lyrics.

03:23It's always a basic idea,

03:25there's just piano and voice,

03:27we put the song together,

03:29everyone gives their ideas,

03:31there are several versions for the songs,

03:33sometimes we take chorus from other songs,

03:35we put them with verses from a second song,

03:38it's a collage work, if you like,

03:41but the songs are based on lyrics,

03:45much more than a song with lyrics.

03:49It's basically a poem,

03:51and we think about how this music

03:53will accompany these words and expressions.

04:08The Lebanese are at the heart

04:11of their music,

04:13and the Lebanese are at the heart

04:16of their music,

04:18and the Lebanese are at the heart

04:21of their music,

04:23and the Lebanese are at the heart

04:26of their music,

04:28and the Lebanese are at the heart

04:31of their music,

04:33and the Lebanese are at the heart

04:36Lebanon is at the heart of their creation,

04:39a country they had to leave

04:42due to the cataclysm of August 4, 2020,

04:45which completely devastated their studio in Beirut,

04:49but was not justified by their inspiration.

04:52Let's look at these other images.

04:54There have been several exodus,

04:56several waves of Lebanese immigration.

04:58We are the last wave now,

05:00after the explosion, after the economic crisis,

05:02and the political situation of the country.

05:06We are the last wave now,

05:08after the explosion, after the economic crisis,

05:11and the political situation of the country.

05:14This album, Ada, means enemy.

05:17Our songs are mostly love songs.

05:19The album is called Enemy,

05:21so there is this great contrast

05:23between love and enemies, always.

05:25And we see in love relationships,

05:27sometimes it turns into an enemy,

05:29and it can also have another connotation,

05:31which is the enemies, who are our enemies?

05:33Maybe the Lebanese state is our enemy,

05:35maybe the people who prevent us from progressing

05:39are also enemies.

05:41People who have a conservative mentality,

05:44who pull us back, are enemies.

05:46So it's open to all interpretations.

06:06The story is not beautiful, Zani,

06:10if you want it to be.

06:13Thank you, dear viewers, for your loyalty.

06:39The information continues on our different channels,

06:44and of course on our digital media, medialews.com.
