Beirut-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Charif Megarbane crafts a distinctive sound he calls Lebrary – a fusion of Lebanese and Mediterranean influences filtered through the rich textures of library music. His latest LP, Marzipan, released via Habibi Funk, blends the nostalgic warmth of artists like Ziad Rahbani, Ahmed Malek, and Issam Hajali with a contemporary sensibility.
A prolific composer with over 100 projects to his name, Megarbane translates his surroundings into vibrant sonic landscapes. From the bustling chaos of Beirut’s Souk El Ahad to the serene countryside of Chez Mounir and the sun-soaked shores of Portemilio, Marzipan is a kaleidoscopic journey through place and memory – layering groove, melody, and atmosphere into a timeless, genre-defying sound.
