Lumi is a Lebanese electro-pop and glam punk band composed of Marc Codsi and Mayaline Hage. LUMI started rehearsing in January 2005, and the group's first live appearance was in August the same year.[1] The band's style is a mixture of electro and rock and has gained quick attention in Beirut. After a few concerts in Beirut nightclubs like The Basement and B018, they released an self-produced EP. In 2006 during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon they wrote the song "Not Our War" and at the end of that summer they shot a video for their track "Don't F with my cat" with director Sary Sehnaoui.[2]
In 2007 they signed with EMI Arabia, which led them to record their first album in Düsseldorf with producer Andi Thomas from Mouse on Mars. The album Two Tears in Water was released in June 2008.
They have toured extensively in Lebanon, Paris, London and Berlin.[3]
