Again within the day, each different restaurant, resort, resort had its personal finish of 12 months occasion with artists starting from A to D and costs conveniently. Truly, one time, standard singer Georges Wassouf was requested stay on air if his occasion’s tickets price 100 USD by a sure woman, to which he quipped “if you wish to sit subsequent to washrooms, then sure”.
I don’t know how a lot tickets price for the events this 12 months contemplating that the financial system is totally cash-based and Dollarized at this level. However I do have a sense there’s nothing accessible in them to the common layman. Nonetheless, the truth that there are events – and the above am positive a pattern (which means there are others whose adverts I didn’t do a screenshot) – is a small indicator that there’s a semblant of life creeping in on the Lebanese scene. Most A-list singers are ringing the New 12 months exterior Lebanon the place provides are extra forthcoming and profitable. But realizing that somebody like Haifa Wehbe could be right here is itself a pleasant indicator.
2023 has not been the simplest of years, as I mentioned beforehand the second half was an entire nosedive on many ranges and the state of affairs in Palestine and the South of Lebanon didn’t make issues any simpler. A but right here we’re so near wrapping up the 12 months and gearing for one more one to return!
