Synopsis

The Third Rahbani chronicles the extraordinary journey of the late Lebanese composer Elias El Rahbani, who carved his own unique path distinct from his renowned brothers, Assi and Mansour. Elias’s innovative compositions and collaborations have left an indelible mark on the Arab music world, cementing his legacy as a visionary artist.

It showcases the prominent artists he collaborated with, as well as his contributions to film scores, advertising music, and the composition of partisan anthems.

The documentary also sheds light on the awards and honours Rahbani received throughout his career, from his early beginnings to the later years of his life, emphasizing his artistic legacy that became a milestone in Arab music.

After a successful screening in our 2024, we are bringing back this gem due to popular demand and in tribute to the Rahbani family.
