About Li Beirut Art and Music Fundraiser

Beirut has earned its title as one of the most innovative art and music capitals of the Middle East if not the world. Birthing new genres in music and legendary artists, their sound has reached every corner of the world, including a unique relationship with Oslo through the yearly festival Beirut and Beyond. Following the tragic explosions in August 4th, the city was left in devastation. As artists, venue owners and culture producers, it is our time to help rebuild the city that has given so much to the world.

“Li Beirut”, named after the song by the iconic Lebanese singer Fairuz, is an art and music fundraiser that will take over the city of Oslo. Each venue and organizer will set up their own event to send funds to rebuild cultural institutions in Beirut that were affected by the explosion, spreading the public throughout the city to uphold the strict safety regulations.
