Sit back and listen to the beautiful sound of the Oud, played by my friend's son, Samer. His oud has been carefully crafted by the @chord.corner (check out their page).
The oud, which originated in modern-day Iraq, is known as the first stringed instrument in the world, dating back over 5,000 years ago. This ancient instrument has been integral to the musical and cultural heritage of Lebanon and the Middle East for thousands of years. Enjoy!

Reposted @guide.lb I know that on my page I always show the beauty of Lebanon, but every day the situation is getting worse and they are just destroying this beautiful country without any limitations!!
Like for example, this sweets store used to be one of the oldest family owned businesses since 1949 with the best sweets in town! Why did they have to destroy it? Why did they have to destroy the whole street? All the shops? How is this fair, ethical?
Why does the whole world looking away? Why no one is stopping this mass destruction?
Beirut this morning...the aftermath.
How will ever be able to rebuild our broken hearts, broken lives, broken houses, broken, cities?
All because a few crazy people believe they are the chosen race, and they have convinced the world's superpower to support them in their tyranny and illegal occupation.
