Nayla Rached from the ”Agenda Culturel” has published a review about Meen’s latest concert in Tayouneh. she wrote:
Meen: concert rock « libnene ». Depuis le temps qu’on m’en parle, il était temps de partir a la découverte. Et ce fut une découverte, un spectacle un peu comique, un peu kitsch, a la libanaise, typiquement a la libanaise, comme le personnage clé d’une des chansons « Oum Georges », née de l’imaginaire tordant des deux frères Fouad et Toni Yammine. Le chanteur et le guitariste étaient accompagnes a l’Espace Tournesol de Bernard Najem au synthé, de Makram Abu el-husn a la basse, de Joseph Hammam a la guitare électrique et d’une chorale de trois voix féminines. Fouad chante, mais il joue aussi, mime, sautille, gueule, s’enflamme, pave la voie… et voila le premier coup de grâce : une troupe de zaffé manipulant légèreté et force, prend d’assaut la scène. Fouad chante « l’ondoiement d’une hanche », « les recoins d’un cœur délaissé », nos « wizarat » qui découragent la culture, qui polluent l’environnement…
Meen célèbre toute une génération ; et voila le deuxième coup de grâce : sur l’écran se profile le générique de Jongar, personnage Manga a l’instar de Grendizer. La salle exulte jusqu’au bouquet final : « nachid el-banadoura », le moto de Meen.
