Analysis / Interpretation / Press

Khaled El Haber is a pioneering singer renowned for his political songs in Lebanon and the Arab world. Born in Beirut in 1956, he began his artistic career as a solo singer accompanied by the guitar in 1974. In 1975, he founded Al-Firqah (The Band) and started touring in Lebanon, as well as in Arab and European capitals. Composing most of his songs, he relied on poems from Lebanese and Palestinian poets such as Mahmoud Darwish, Samih Al-Qasim, Tawfiq Ziad, Joseph Harb, and others in his songs. Advocating and continuing to advocate for the issues of the oppressed people, particularly human rights issues, with a constant focus on the Palestinian cause, he has dedicated several works to it. He continues to perform concerts in Lebanon and abroad.
