MEET THE BEAT #1 – Laith Al-Deen & Chiara Dubey

In the first episode, our hosts Stefan Frech and Jens Dietrich talk with our guests @Laithaldeen and @chiaradubey about their early influences, their beginnings as musicians, their first steps in the music business, and their initial successes and experiences. We discuss special moments, happiness, failures, and family. And we talk about how life as a musician can be both exciting and complicated. And we make a lot of music. Unplugged. Laith, @fabriziolevita, and Jens perform Laith's song "Der erste Wind" (The First Wind), which is over 20 years old, as well as "Leb' den Tag" (Live the Day) and "Halt mich fest" (Hold Me Tight). Laith Al-Deen performs a very special MEET THE BEAT version of "Bilder von Dir" (Pictures of You) solo. Fabrizio and Jens join Chiara to perform their song "Bella Sera," which is over 10 years old. And Chiara Dubey performs her new songs "Souls" and "Stranger" with her two accompanying musicians. Enjoy! SPONSOR LINKS: C. Bechstein on YouTube:    / bechstein1853   C.
