see you on the beach!
“Hello and welcome!
It’s not every day that an old soul like mine gets his very own website, and I’m thrilled that you’re here. Throughout my career, nothing has brought me more joy than connecting with you, my listeners.
After every concert or performance, what I cherished more than your cheers and happy faces was and still is the opportunity to meet you, connect with you, and hear your stories.
This website is a continuation of that dialogue, a place where we can share in the journey of music and life together. Dive into the music, explore my upcoming events, or just say hello. Love and respect to you all and can’t wait to connect with each one of you. See you on the beach!”

With over 140 original scores in his repertoire, a new album is all but inevitable.

Making My
country proud!
"Every interview I did, every concert or event, I was humbled by how many people still followed my career and my music. I'm truly blessed and honored to have met such incredible artists, musicians, and people from all over Lebanon who, just like me, keep pushing and striving for greatness, for the love of their art, and for peace."“Saro 100”
Had the amazing honor of being named on “Saro 100”, an incredible program that examined historical events and people that changed cultures, politics, and society.
“Hayda Hake”
Absolutely loved to have been the guest of the one and only Adel Karam on his show “Hayda Hake”. I’m blessed to know and be recognized by such amazing people and enjoyed playing with the incredibly talented Shady and his band.
“men el ekhir”
I was honored to be the special guest of Pierre Rabbat in his show “Men el Ekhir”. We delved deep into my world of music and I was truly amazed by hearing stories of people who grew up to my songs and how many of them are excited for me to release new ones.
BEIRUT PEACE CONCERT 1991
"I said no to countless offers from other countries for this moment. Uniting all Lebanese musicians on one stage in a festival for peace through music.
It was a life-long dream after decades of war. Even though many stood against this and tried to stop the concert from happening, music triumphed and people showed up from all over Lebanon to hear the music and sing with us for peace.
This moment is why I still believe in the power of music and the Lebanese people."~Gus Farah
