Mashrou' Leila (Arabic: مشروع ليلى, Mashrūʿ Laylā, Lebanese Arabic pronunciation: [maʃˈɾuːʕ ˈlajla]; sometimes transliterated as Mashrou3 Leila or translated as 'Leila's Project') was a Lebanese four-member indie rock band. The band formed in Beirut, Lebanon in 2008 as a music workshop at the American University of Beirut.
The band has released four studio albums: Mashrou' Leila (2009), Raasük (2013), Ibn El Leil (2015) and The Beirut School (2019); and an EP, El Hal Romancy (2011), while causing many controversies due to their satirical lyrics and themes.
