Ghazi Abdel Baki

**Ghazi Abdel Baki** is a Lebanese composer, musician, and key figure in Beirut’s eclectic music scene. Known for blending traditional Arabic instrumentation with jazz, electronic, and avant-garde influences, his work feels both rooted in heritage and strikingly modern. As a co-founder of the **Beirut Groove Collective**, he’s helped shape a sound that bridges cultural narratives, often weaving in social or political undertones. Tracks like *Sarab* and *Mijana* showcase his knack for merging the oud’s rich textures with experimental beats, while live performances (like *Ghazi Abdel Baki - Live*) highlight his dynamic stage presence. Releases such as *The Last Communiqué* and *Communiqué #2* suggest a thematic focus on dialogue and urgency, reflecting his engagement with contemporary issues. Whether through studio recordings or collaborative projects, Ghazi’s music feels like a conversation between past and present, anchored in Beirut’s vibrant creative energy.
