New Song Counters Sexist Pop in Lebanon

[ 1 ] June 17, 2010 | Nadine Moawad

Kudos to May Matar and Toni Abi Karam for this new song that parodies popular sexist songs in Lebanon. We’ve seen a wave of them lately that are insulting and demeaning to women, and especially discouraging to our young girls. Here is a catchy song to rule them all! I bet the patriarchal music industry isn’t going to like this. But we do! Express your solidarity, support, and appreciation by emailing the composer tony_abikaram [at] hotmail.com and artist may.matar [at] hotmail.com today!
