Mashrou' Leila, sometimes transliterated in Arabizi as Mashrou3 Leila or translated as "project of one night", was a four-member indie rock band from Beirut, Lebanon. It was formed in 2008 as a music workshop at the American University of Beirut, and released four studio albums: Mashrou' Leila (2009), Raasük (2013), Ibn El Leil (2015) and The Beirut School (2019), as well as an EP, El Hal Romancy (2011). The band attracted controversy due to their satirical lyrics and themes. The band disbanded in 2022, due to harassment and hate campaigns.
