Pascale Etienne Sakr Another Lebanese Diva



Born in Zahle, Lebanon to Etienne and Alexandra Sakr. Pascale began singing at 4 years old, and was mostly influenced by the music and style of the Rahbani Brothers Manosur and Elias gave her some of her finest songs and so did Lebanese composer Melhim Barakat.

Her professional career started after she met Elias Rahbani by coincidence at a school singing contest. She is also the daughter of Lebanese nationalist Etienne Sakr, a former member of the Lebanese Forces and Leader of the Far-Right Guardians of the Cedars and to Alexandra Sakr. She is the oldest of 3 children and younger sister is also a Lebanese pop star Karol Sakr. She started singing at a very young age. Her repertoire includes many languages including Lebanese Arabic, French, English and Aramaic.

So she is one of those singers in Lebanon that have not been able to translate their work to a broader audience in the Arab world. Most of her songs sound like Fayrouz style songs and tales--she has collaborated with the same team. She has a soft and soothing voice that puts you at ease and she almost sounds the exact same in all of her songs.

Pascale Sakr has also been active in theater she has starred in lead role of the play Wadi Chamseen and Sawret Chaab
