Bedouin Burger is a duo featuring Zeid Hamdan and Lynn Adib.
Zeid Hamdan is an acclaimed music producer and multi-instrumentalist identified as a Lebanese culture leader by CNN. He has worked with many prominent artists including trip hop group Soap Kills, The New Government, Katibe5, Shiftz, Hiba Mansouri, and his own project Zeid and the Wings, Marie Abou Khaled, Tanjaret Daghet, and others. In 2019, Hamdan produced the soundscore for the Oscar nominated film Caparnaum by Nadine Labaki. In July 2011, Hamdan was arrested for a song titled “General Go Home” considered insulting to then-president Michel Suleiman, a former army chief.
Lynn Adib is a Syrian singer born in Damascus, where she was introduced at a very young age to Byzantine singing as part of the “Choir of Joy” of the Church of Our Lady of Damascus. While studying flute at the National Conservatory of Damascus, she discovered jazz and was seduced by its openness and complexity. This led her to explore and bring together traditional Arabic music (maqam), religious songs of ancient Syria, and jazz.
Lynn Adib moved to Paris, France in 2009 to study at the American School of Modern Music. She later moved to Lebanon.
Bedouin Burger released the singles يا من حوى and تحت الورد in 2020.
The group showcased at influential record industry conference Midem Digital Edition 2021.
