Songs born from Syrian bombs: How war wrote our first album

posted on: Sep 10, 2015

Anas Maghrebi is the 26-year-old lead singer of Syrian indie rock band Khebez Dawle (or “State Bread”). Since the Arab Spring began in late 2010, Anas and his bandmates have been forced out of Syria, traveling from Beirut, Lebanon to Istanbul, Turkey—the group just landed on the Greek Island of Mytilene, where they’ll wait for the proper paperwork to enter other parts of Europe. Anas and his friends are among the thousands of Syrian refugees who have entered Greece this year.
