This shiny young thing is one Jad Choueiri, a rising Lebanese singer/producer. His last album had a genuinely catchy/loungy sort of song on it called "Beirut", and his earlier song "Benadilak" ("Calling You") has a video that gives you an only slightly idealized glimpse of what the Jeunesse Dorée are up in this part of the world.

Is that the Coochi of Maharni Behar?
