“Jazz is universal and the way it defies boundaries in musical genres is fascinating.”
BEIRUT SPEAKS JAZZ is a unique platform in the Arab world where Rock, Hip Hop, Tarab, Pop and Blues artists get united on one stage and in one night to perform with a jazz band.
So far we had 3 successful editions, 36 leading artists and more than 1200 engaged listeners.

In one night, Lebanon's most intriguing artists of rock, rap, tarab, pop and blues all come together to explore new grounds with the encompassing sounds of jazz.
