My love letter to Beirut | mikasounds

And then, suddenly, at 6.10pm on Tuesday, a tragic grey cloud rose up from your port, mowing down your exhausted people. The thick orange smoke drowned the skies of Beirut and replaced the distant memory, so often recounted by my mother, of the yellow light which bathed our fourth floor, sea-facing apartment on the corniche. I cannot but think of these two explosions as a symbol of a system which is shattering.

mikasounds Could you kindly give me the contact for a press interview of Mika for an Arab site ? Many thanks

mikasounds ❤

mikasounds Mika, this is beyond lovely Such support, hopefully joined by other artists, is well-needed to rebuild the shattered morale. Perhaps something big in London with a great Lebanese artist ? But regardless, Merci.

mikasounds Beirut will rise again for sure... but for the moment the pain is immense and the anger is intense PrayForLebanon

They would have stored, traded & done whatever they wanted. Part of the Govt are in bed with this group.. Where else would they store their Arms? They lie!
