DJ Madi K turned the protests in Tripoli, Lebanon into a dance party with his captivating sound
In a new neighbourhood of Tripoli, the largest city in northern Lebanon, it’s everyday business in a small cafe on a commercial street on a weekday. A few customers are inside smoking, chatting and drinking coffee.
Soon he learned how to play various instruments, and years later embarked on music production. For his 18th birthday, his best friend offered him a DJ set. That’s when he started off as a self-taught DJ playing school and university parties, then hosting events in dance clubs around the country. While studying computer science, he made a name for himself playing in clubs in Jordan and Africa.
His post got 66,594 views with overwhelmingly positive messages encouraging him to carry out his idea. With the help of his brother, friends and several other men, he managed to have his DJ gear taken to the square with speakers on top of a van that made it through the large crowds. Madi K was finally ready within an hour. After calling on an audience of 5,000 people to turn to the terrace, grabbing their attention with his phone lit up, all of them gradually held their mobile phones in the air with their flashlights on.
In the five minutes that followed his show, hundreds of cheering messages poured onto his Instagram accounts. Confirming that his mix of music is bringing people together to chant and dance at a very difficult time, the revolutionary DJ highlighted the power music has in connecting everyone “whether Sunnis, Shias or Christians.”
Madi K has helped change perceptions of the northern city. Pumping up the street movement, and injecting new life within the local community, his music has encouraged protesters from different parts of the country to join the Tripoli demonstrations, including Christians from neighbouring areas.
