5. I know little about them beyond sleeve notes

I think the band is mostly Algerian-French.

You're right, this guy blew me away the first time I heard a cut on Beirut Nights streaming radio. Thank goodness the DJ was French and I could understand who did the cut.

They haven't been to the US and they're not likely to in the near future, given the anti Arab and anti French manufactured hysteria on the far right.

Like I said, if he sang in anything but Arabic (and a little French), he'd be the top rocker in the world.
