The songwriter behind “Ounadikom,” one of the most recognized protest songs to come out of the Lebanese Civil War.
Ahmad Kaabour composed “Ounadikom” in 1975, just as the Lebanese Civil War was breaking out, and the song went on to become one of the most widely recognized anthems of Arab political song, covered and referenced for decades after.
His broader catalog, spanning songwriting, composition, and acting, treated music as inseparable from political commentary at a moment when Lebanon's cultural life was being reshaped by conflict.
