Littérature du Son Libre to Launch in Beirut May 17th
KED Beirut and Beirut & Beyond launch new series with Zaid Khaled, Glitter55, Koast, and Ziad Naboulsi on May 17.
In Beirut, where sound has long been a means of resistance and reinvention, a new concert series is carving out its own space. KED Beirut and Beirut & Beyond have teamed up to launch Littérature du Son Libre, a live music experience set on grounding experimental, independent sounds in a city constantly on the edge. This is a movement toward self-determined scenes that run on their own rhythm, not global trends.
The first edition kicks off Saturday, May 17 at KED. At the center: Jordanian indie singer Zaid Khaled, joined by Tunisian rapper Koast and DJ Ziad Naboulsi, with Moroccan producer Glitter55 on closing duties. Expect everything from trap to chaâbi to indie.
In a time of limited support and shrinking cultural space, this series offers an independent platform for artists across the region and beyond. The goal is clear: monthly shows that are accessible, professionally produced, and rooted in the moment.
Tickets available on KED Beirut’s Instagram Bio.
