Start the Weekend Off With Something Beautiful – Safineh

“Sometimes I forget that Beirut is a port. And it kills me to keep forgetting.”

When I wake up in the morning, especially on a Saturday, I want to hear something that sets the tone for the day. This video is perfect for that.

“Safineh,” Arabic for “boat” or “sailing ship,” was created by Gabriel Ferneiné, a multimedia consultant, who has been gathering footage of Beirut’s port and its rooftops for years. The track was produced by Trash Inc’s Nabil Saliba. This is the result. Enjoy, and Happy Saturday!
