عودة العسكر Return of the Soldiers


While the the story could have been developed into an entire play, the Rahbani Brothers opted to use it as a premise to present their songs. It contains no dialogue and the story is told through the first couple of songs and some narrated text. The booklet contains no information but it's safe to say that the first twelve tracks are of AlBaalbakiya while the other twelve are of Return of the Soldiers. The play itself is great to listen to, I only wish they would have wrote more on the gods and the destruction of Baalbeck, and that how it started is how it would have ended.
Maybe I should start a petition demanding a prequel
