Funk, English Class and Hamra

Sometimes photos can a better job than words. I don’t know if as a writer I’m supposed to say that, but hey, it’s true. Or maybe I’m just being lazy…

Regardless, some days there just isn’t enough time to do all of the interesting things there are to do in this city, especially now that it’s summer. From DJ Format at Yukunkun Club to teaching English to migrant workers to the Hamra Festival and all the lovely sights within walking distance can see when one walks around that part of Beirut – it all makes for a beautiful weekend!

You can find more on the Beirut Groove Collective’s event at Yukunkun Club with DJ Format that I wrote for Agenda Culturel here.
