Ziad Al Rahbani ‎زياد الرحباني






Ziad Rahbani is a Lebanese composer, pianist, performer, playwright and political commentator born on 1 January 1956. Son of Assi Rhabanii and Nouhad Haddad, better known as Fairouz , Ziad grew up in an artistic environment that stimulated his creativity.

Active on many fronts, he is recognized as one of the most influential authors of the Lebanese intellectual scene by virtue of his theatrical works, his writings and his albums that contain satirical invectives and criticisms to the traditional political establishment of his country.

Ziad Rahbani's first known work is "Sadiqi Allah", a collection of writings written in the late 1960s when he was still a teenager. In 1973, at the age of 17 he composed his first musical score for a work by his mother. The famous and efficient Rahbani Brothers company (formed by Ziad's father and Uncle Mansour) had difficulties due to the hospitalization of Assi Rahbani. The writing of the work "Al Mahatta" was to be completed. One last piece remained to be composed of which the text was ready but not the music. Mansour Rahbani will entrust the composition to the young nephew. The song in question was "Saalouni El Nass". The song will have a great success and will allow Ziad to highlight his skills in the field of composition.

With His Mother  Fairuz
 As well as in the field of music, Ziad Rahbani will become known as an actor by taking part in other works by the Rahbani Brothers, including the same "" Al Mahatta "and" Mays el Rim ". He will also compose the music of various theatrical works with highly politicized content.

Among his first highly appreciated works were the albums "A Rahbani Festival", a reinterpretation of old songs by Fairiuz in a contemporary key and "Bil Afrah", an album which, besides highlighting the author's abilities in the field of composition of traditional music, offers a beautiful philological reinterpretation of old songs from the Arab
classical tradition.
Eclectic musician and experimenter Ziad Rahbani has entered the family musical tradition by launching, as they say, the heart beyond the obstacle. If the Rahbani Brothers were already the bearers of a wave of renewal in the field of the Levantine composition, Ziad Rahbani has exaggerated, so to speak, the concept. He further explored the mingling of Eastern and Western music, contaminating his compositions with different genres such as jazz, bossa nova, rock, lounge music, which made him one of the most important and influential musicians in the Arab world .All the 80s and 90s saw him involved in various projects including musicals, music albums and radio programs. Among the albums made in the 80s we should mention: "Ana Mush Kafir", a record that represented an important point of reference for the generation that suffered the Lebanese civil war and "Hodou 'Nisbi" work with more relaxed atmospheres but no less full of political content. Throughout his career he has engaged in several artistic collaborations in the most fruitful of which were undoubtedly those with Joseph Saqr, Antoine Kerbaj and Bechara Khoury.

In addition to supporting various artists on the Lebanese music scene (very intriguing is the result of his collaboration on the Salma Mousfi album entitled "Monodose", which explores the world of Bossa Nova in an Arabic key) he has collaborated with some of his mother's best records among which "Kifak inta" of 1991 and "Wala kif" of 2001.


A prominent figure in Lebanese society, his political and religious positions have made him a controversial figure, admired by some and criticized by others. Known for being atheist and communist Ziad Rahbani has a longstanding relationship with the Lebanese leftist movements. In an interview with journalist Ghassan Bin-Jiddu, he stated that the massacres carried out in 1976 in the Palestinian refugee camp of Tall a-Za'tar by right-wing Christian militias was the main reason that pushed him during the Lebanese civil war to reside in West Beirut, the Muslim part of the city.

A supporter of the Lebanese resistance to the Israeli occupation and to the Zionist regime, coming from a Christian family, his political vision has put him several times in contrast with his belonging environment but has made him a respected figure both musically and humanly.













Ziad Rahbani è un compositore, pianista, performer, drammaturgo e commentatore politico libanese nato il 1 ° gennaio 1956. Figlio di Assi Rhabanii e Nouhad Haddad, meglio conosciuta con il nome d’arte di Fairouz, Ziad è cresciuto in un ambiente artistico che ne ha stimolato la creatività.

Attivo su molti fronti è riconosciuto come uno degli autori più influenti della scena intellettuale libanese in virtù delle sue opere teatrali, dei suoi scritti e dei suoi album che contengono invettive e critiche in forma satirica all’establishment politico tradizionale del suo paese. 

With his Father Assi

La prima opera artistica conosciuta di Ziad Rahbani è "Sadiqi Allah" , una raccolta di scritti redatta alla fine degli anni 60 quando era ancora adolescente. Nel 1973, all'età di 17 anni compose la sua prima partitura musicale per un opera della madre. La collaudata ditta dei Rahbani Brothers ( formata dal padre di Ziad e dallo zio Mansour) si trovò in difficoltà a causa del ricovero in ospedale di Assi Rahbani. Si doveva terminare la scrittura dell’opera “ Al Mahatta “ . Rimaneva da comporre un ultimo brano del quale era pronto il testo ma non la musica. Mansour Rahbani affiderà la composizione al giovane nipote. La canzone in questione era "Saalouni El Nass" . Il brano otterrà un grande successo e permetterà a Ziad di mettere in luce le sue capacità nel campo della composizione.

Oltre che nel campo della musica Ziad Rahbani si farà conoscere come attore prendendo parte ad altre opere dei Rahbani Brothers tra le quali la stessa ““ Al Mahatta “ e "Mays el Rim" . Egli stesso comporrà le musiche di varie opere teatrali dai contenuti altamente politicizzati.

Tra i suoi primi lavori come compositore vanno segnalati gli album “ A Rahbani Festival” , una rivisitazione di vecchi brani di Fairiuz in chiave contemporanea e “Bil Afrah “ , album il quale , oltre a mettere in luce le capacità della’autore nel campo della composizione di musica tradizionale, offre una bellissima rivisitazione filologica di vecchi brani della tradizione classica araba. 

Musicista eclettico e sperimentatore Ziad Rahbani si è inserito nella tradizione musicale di famiglia lanciando, come si suol dire, il cuore oltre l’ostacolo. Se già i Rahbani Brothers furono portatori di un ondata di rinnovamento nel campo della composizione levantina, Ziad Rahbani ha estremizzato, per cosi dire, il concetto . Ha ulteriormente esplorato le commistioni tra musica orientale e occidentale, contaminando le proprie composizioni con generi diversi quali il jazz, la bossa nova, il rock , la lounge music , cosa che ha fatto di di lui uno dei musicisti più importanti ed influenti del mondo arabo.

Tutti gli anni 80 e 90 lo hanno visto impegnato i svariati progetti tra musical, album musicali e programmi in radio. Tra gli album realizzati negli anni 80 vanno segnalati senza dubbio “ Ana Mush Kafir” , disco che ha rappresentato un importante punto riferimento per la generazione che ha subito la guerra civile libanese e “ Hodou' Nisbi” lavoro dalle atmosfere più rilassate ma non meno pregno di contenuti politici. Nel corso della sua carriera svariate sono state le collaborazioni in campo artistico le più fruttuose delle quali sono state senza dubbio quelle con Joseph Saqr, Antoine Kerbaj e Bechara Khoury .

Oltre a sostenere vari artisti della scena musicale libanese ( molto intrigante è il risultato della sua collaborazione all’album di Salma Mousfi intitolato “Monodose” ,che esplora il mondo della Bossa Nova in chiave araba) ha collaborato ad alcuni dei migliori dischi della madre tra i quali “Kifak inta" del 1991 e "Wala kif" del 2001. 

  Personaggio di spicco della società libanese , le sue                posizioni politiche e religiose hanno fatto di lui una  figura      controversa, ammirata da alcuni e criticata da altri . Noto per essere ateo e comunista Ziad Rahbani ha una relazione di lunga data con i movimenti di sinistra libanesi . In un'intervista rilasciata al giornalista Ghassan Bin-Jiddu, ha dichiarato che i massacri operati nel 1976 nel campo profughi palestinese di Tall a-Za'tar da parte delle milizie cristiane estremiste di destra è stata la ragione principale che lo ha spinto durante la guerra civile libanese a risiedere a West Beirut, la parte    mussulmana della città.

Sostenitore della resistenza libanese all’occupazione israeliana e al regime sionista , provenendo da una famiglia cristiana, la sua visione politica lo ha messo più volte in contrasto con il suo ambiente di appartenenza ma ne ha fatto una figura rispettata sia musicalmente che umanamente.
