Fata17 فتى١٧ by Sandy Chamoun

the project aims at publishing the Artist’s first solo album consisting of three
tracks inspired by the October 17 th revolution in Lebanon. Following a long
period of despair and disappointment, the night of October 17 th offered a lot of
surprises and excitement. For the first time in Lebanon, we lived a moment of
spontaneity that united us all for one demand: Good Living.
A few months after its inception, I try to gather scenes from the first nights of
the revolution and remember this feeling. The songs presented in the album
are based on audio clips from videos I filmed during the protests, in addition
to voices and music from the streets that lived in uprisings during the same
period of the Beirut uprising, such as Iraq and Chile; the sound of fire, the
saxophone playing during clashes in Chile, bouzouki and percussion
instruments, in addition to the my voice as a singer.
After five months of protesting on the streets, the COVID19 pandemic locked
us in our homes and interrupted the uprising’s momentum. A feeling of
loneliness haunted me during this isolation and I began to recall sounds,
pictures, and events from the uprising that gave me energy to continue. Here I
started working on the first song of this trilogy, “The Boy of October 17”
This trilogy will pass through three phases, reflecting three cases that we have
experienced during the course of the uprising:
First: Euphoria – a lot of daydreaming
Second: Fear that this dream will stop
Third: Recession
