The band FORCE was formed in 1983 by Abboud Saadi and Emile Boustany, two veteran musicians who conquered the West Beirut music scene during the hard times of the civil war of the 70s. The band then performed at the Beirut Rock Festival 1988, rocking the stage and capturing the crowd’s attention.
The band consisted of Abboud Saadi (bass and vocals), Raffi Mandalian (guitar), Nidal Abu Samra (saxes), Hani Siblini (keyboards) and Emile Boustany (drums).
