“East of Any Place” is a treasure trove of songs we came across alongside Rogér Fakhr‘s acclaimed 2021 album, “Fine Anyway.” These tracks, hidden for decades and only passed between a handful of people, offer a glimpse into Rogér’s musical genius and the vibrant scene of Lebanon during a period marked by civil war and social upheaval.
This release serves as a companion to “Fine Anyway,” featuring studio tracks that didn’t make it into the previous album. Recorded in single day sessions in the late 1970s, the songs remain untouched, preserving the rawness and authenticity of the moment with impeccable folk-driven arrangements and lyricism shining throughout “East of Any Place.”
