Resorting to humor to get through dark times is what our guests Georges Daccache and Georges Mahfouz do best. You might know them as Gstrings, the Lebanese duo who poke fun a different problems we face through musical parodies that combine humorous Arabic lyrics with famous tunes. Today, they join our host Lynn on the Beirut Buzz podcast to tell us how they met, what they fight over the most, which song made them go viral across social media, and all about the Lebanese-themed board game they plan to release in July. The band will also be singing you an original, so tune in for an instant mood boost!

You can catch Gstrings perform live at KED collaboration with Awk.word. If you want to listen to more parodies, follow the band on Instagram @gstringslb and subscribe to their YouTube channel @Gstringslb.
