Charif Megarbane

Over the past two decades, Megarbane has released over 100 albums under various monikers and recorded across Beirut, Nairobi, Paris, London and Lisbon – the various cities he’s called home.


With a DIY music ethos, Charif Megarbane has crafted an inimitable style of instrumental music, a melting pot of global sounds that effortlessly glides between 1960s Italian library music, Middle Eastern psychedelia, afro-beat and hip-hop breaks. Megarbane refers to this as “Lebrary” music: a vision of and from Lebanon and the Mediterranean expressed through the kaleidoscopic approach of library music.
