Honestly it is the second time i attend it in Beirut and everytime im disapointed.
I dont think any of us enjoyed it...i was expecting something like music everywhere, people dancing, singing...
We went first to Down town and nothing was different...people were walking on the streets, there was just one place next to DT restaurant where a band played one or two records at 8h30pm for like 30 minutes and that was it!!!! Same in Hamra...(i think they barely played).
I have to admit that the best part was in Gemayze street, next to the famous big stair where a lot of artist where exposing their paintings (but thats not only for the music fest, they often do it)
At the bottom of the stairs, there was a band playing nice lebanese songs and some foreign ones..it was nice... People where sitting everywhere on the stairs...there was this music mood in the air :) much better!
