RAND is a Lebanese musical band formed in 2013 by three siblings: Youssef, Lili, and Jamale Abou Hamad. Building on their studies at the Lebanese National Higher Conservatory of Music, they create a unique acoustic sound with piano and vocals performing oriental and occidental classics, along with original songs. The trio is notably known for singing in Arabic, French, and English. As of 2019, the band started to collaborate with guest musicians during its live concerts.
"RAND is capable of taking the listener to wider spaces of aesthetic poetry, melody and performance, through a creation that imposes itself not by brainwashing marketing strategies or by excessive production support, but by its sensitive artistic and refined sense."
Rana Astih, Al Joumhouria Newspaper
"RAND has a professional and decent look, heralding the birth of a Lebanese-inspired art troupe with an international culture. In this evening, not only the tunes were the master of the atmosphere, but also the artistic value that this trio excelled in transmitting through their vision."
May Menassa, Annahar Newspaper
"RAND, Musicians promoters of “Lebanese Human Resources”, a family-based group that has taken up the challenge of transmitting the essence and singularity of the music of The Land of Cedars."
Anaïs Delmas, L’Orient Le Jour
"The audience was singing along with RAND, appreciating their music that has proven to be accessible to a large public."
Lisa Kassab, L’Orient Le Jour
Libnan Al Iman, a tribute to Lebanon, is a song full of wisdom and authenticity."
