Traditional Lebanese dance: Dabke

Dabke, meaning "to stomp" in Arabic, is a dance that is usually performed at weddings and celebrations. It is a social dance and represents unity and solidarity because it can’t be performed alone (explaining the weird hand movement in the study) and distinguished by its intricate footwork and coordination (The tarbouch and the greyish suit are both traditional attire wore by men performing dabke)

The song I chose is called "حجل صنين" which translates to “la perdrix de Sannine” in French, sang by Fairuz. (Sannine is one of the biggest mountain in Lebanon situated next to my native village, Baskinta, where I spent most of summers)

Enjoy Beqaata en Nahr - Assi river trail, one of the best explorations you can make this summer.This natural site is located on both the Baskinta and Bqaatouta municipalities.The site shelters an incredible biodiversity with some rare and endemic species for Lebanon.The trail is a little bit adventurous, narrow passages, steel stairs with some climbing and entering into caves.The river Al Assi flows surrounded by steep cliffs. The North facing slope is the most fascinating feature of the valley with its acidic and ferruginous cliffs of sandstone that give them this vivid red color.You can take the long steel stairs leading you from the river up to the highest peak of Baskinta or continue the trail to find a beautiful waterfall that you would have to walk behind to continue your journey.You can also discover a hidden cave with dripping water droplets from above showering you with joy. This needs a little bit of climbing but the view from the inside out is mesmerizing.Take a dip in the freezing lake before resting in the nearby orchards and pine forests. The village is surrounded by the highest peaks of Metn and Keserwan and lies at the sources of the dog river (Nahr el Kalb) separating the two casas. Baskinta means “house of serenity” in Syriac. Visitors quickly feel at peace and at home in this charming village just by contemplating the old stone buildings scattered among the oaks, and the soothing landscapes of apple and cherry orchards. Baskinta carries the ruins of monuments and pottery remains that date as back as the Phoenician and the Greek ages. The Greeks knew Baskinta and built in it several palaces of which enormous stones, pillars stands, and underground passages still exist.

Concrete Mammoths of Qanat Bakish [Set 3of3 site+sound] . Abandoned “Al Biyada” Chalets 1970 Qanat Bakish, Baskinta, (Faraya) Mount-Lebanon, Lebanon By Georges Tamer Haddad Architect [2017:08:15 12:05:00] . Designed late 60s close to the Qanat Bakish ski slopes, the project was discontinued at the start of the Lebanese civil war in 1975. This plain concrete (béton brute) modernist architecture bears bas-reliefs designed by the architect and integrated in the initial pouring of the concrete formwork, typical of that era. This plain architecture echoes the arid slopes of this mountain peak during the summer period. The bas-reliefs give the whole site a feel of primal rupestrian art, parietal art, when each unit with its temporary structural front columns mimic herds of mammoths. From afar, the abandoned structure looks silent and still. Surprisingly humans occupy now the unfinished lodges, families fleeing the neighboring Syrian conflict. . #faraya #qanatbakish #qanatbakiche #baskinta #mountlebanon #lebanon #montliban #liban #brut #brutalism #plainconcrete #betonbrut #concrete #modernism #design #architecture #architect #architects #architecte #georgesthaddad #georgeshaddad #georgestamerhaddad #buildings #i_know_what_they_did_last_summer #lebanon #national_heritage #safeguard #culture #collective_memory #erase #amnesia #twenty_century #archileb #archleb #livelovearchitecture #oldbeirutlebanon #basrelief #rupestrian #parietal #mammoth (à Qanat Bakish, Mont-Liban, Lebanon)
