Mashrou' Leila
“It's horrible seeing that the whole world is very much moving to a similar drum right now,” the Lebanese-American citizen says. “In the Middle East, it doesn't really take much to get banned as you can see from what's happening with protests around the region,” Sinno says. “Anyone sort of articulating anything about freedom of speech or basic human rights in the region gets heavily opposed by political bodies.”Mashrou' Leila is not banned in Lebanon, but the last concert they had scheduled in their home country was canceled because of a “violent” “media war,” he says.
Sinno says political messages surface in the band’s lyrics because social injustices are an “integral part of who we are as people.”
