Artist Saint Levant has released his latest musical project, titled “Afandi,” marking another step in his approach to presenting Arabic music through a contemporary vision that combines cultural identity, visual aesthetics, fashion, and music. The album features 12 songs, including collaborations with Lebanese singer Haifa Wehbe and Palestinian artist Mohamed Assaf, as part of a project designed to connect with both Arab and international audiences. ✨

“Afandi”.. A Contemporary Take on an Arabic Character

The project takes its name from “Afandi,” a word historically associated with the image of an elegant and confident man. Saint Levant reintroduces this character through a modern artistic perspective that reflects the spirit of the present day.

The artist does not treat the name simply as the title of a music album, but instead transforms it into a complete identity connected to music, fashion, culture, and visual presentation. The concept appears to focus on bringing elements of Arab collective memory back into the spotlight and reshaping them through an artistic language that can connect with younger generations.

Part of the project’s spirit is inspired by Arab stars who have long been associated with elegance, charisma, and strong stage presence, including George Wassouf and Kadim Al Sahir, while Saint Levant reinterprets these qualities through his own musical vision.

Haifa Wehbe and Mohamed Assaf Join “Afandi”

The album features a diverse selection of collaborations, with Haifa Wehbe appearing on the songs “Sabah El Ward” and “Mitsubishi.” The collaboration introduces a different musical color to the project, particularly because of the distinct artistic and musical backgrounds of the two performers. 🎶

Palestinian artist Mohamed Assaf also appears on “Meskara,” one of the album’s notable tracks. The song carries elements of Palestinian and Arab culture, with themes connected to memory, belonging, and the celebration of Arab womanhood.

The collaboration adds another layer of diversity to the album, bringing together artists from different backgrounds and musical experiences within one project.

12 Songs Across Different Musical Experiences

“Afandi” features 12 songs, combining previously released tracks that have attracted attention with new material presented as part of the project. The tracklist includes “Sabah El Ward,” “Mitsubishi,” and “Meskara.”

The album also features “Layl El Sahraneen,” “Cinderella,” “Zay El Amar Betgheeb,” “Manaya,” “Mosalahgeya,” “Sahran W Nasi,” “Warda,” “Hawa,” and “W Rayeh Wein?”

Despite the differences in themes, rhythms, and musical approaches, the project maintains a shared musical identity built around elements of Arabic music, while incorporating modern production techniques that give the songs a more international character.

Music and Fashion in One Artistic Project

🔥 The concept of “Afandi” goes beyond the songs themselves, as Saint Levant seeks to create a complete identity for the project that brings together sound, visuals, fashion, and stage design.

The idea is built around revisiting elements of the Arab past, particularly the image of the elegant artist and the cultural presence historically associated with music and style, before presenting those elements through a contemporary perspective.

In this sense, the album becomes a broader artistic project rather than simply a collection of songs, offering a complete vision of Arab identity and exploring how it can be presented in a modern way without losing its roots.

“Layali Al Afandi”.. A Global Music Tour

Alongside the release of the album, Saint Levant is preparing for a global music tour titled “Layali Al Afandi,” which will visit several cities across Europe and North America.

The tour will not focus solely on performing the new songs. Instead, it is built around an artistic concept that combines music with stage design and storytelling, aiming to transform each concert into a complete visual and musical experience.

“Layali Al Afandi” draws inspiration from the atmosphere of Beirut nightlife and its long-standing cultural and artistic presence, before reimagining those elements through a contemporary vision that reflects the identity of the project.

A Project That Goes Beyond Music

⭐ Through “Afandi,” Saint Levant continues to explore a space where modern Arabic music meets cultural roots, while incorporating fashion, visuals, and storytelling into a broader artistic identity.

The participation of Haifa Wehbe and Mohamed Assaf adds further diversity to the album, while the Palestinian, Levantine, and broader Arab cultural elements give the project an additional cultural dimension.

With the release of “Afandi” and the preparations for the “Layali Al Afandi” tour, Saint Levant places Arab identity at the center of his artistic experience, seeking to present it through a modern language capable of reaching audiences beyond geographical borders while preserving the spirit from which the project began.
