Zeid and the Wings are a project by Zeid Hamdan; singer, songwriter, musician, and pioneer of the Lebanese underground music scene. Zeid is most known for previous projects including Soapkills, and The New Government. He is behind the website www.lebaneseunderground.com that often features some of the most interesting projects on the Lebanese and Arab music scene . Zeid’s latest venture, Zeid and the Wings, are an eclectic group of musicians and singers that came together gradually over the last year. Zeid placed an ad for ‘backup singers’ in early 2010 and was contacted by vocalists Yasmeen Ayyashi and Sara Barrage. The band has since been blessed with the talents of guest musicians such as ney player Bashir Saade and keyboardist Rita Okais and was later joined by Lumi’s guitarist Marc Codsi who added his own unique touch to Zeid’s already one-of-a-kind tracks. Gihan El-Hage, a third vocalist, joined the fledgling project in March of 2010. Read more on Last.fm.
