Luckily, she is still alive no matter what the rumors say, they have reported she has died more times that one can count, but Lebanese diva and Arabic music legend Fayrouz is still alive and breathing, her must speak for her in this critical time where she has imposed a gag order on herself.
Fayrouz has stayed out of the spotlight and has yet to make a statement on the Arab Spring and namely Syria, but it's unfair to ask of her those questions. She is the one thing that no two Arabs can disagree on. Her music lives on and the story she tells can never be dismissed.
She has hundreds of classics, you cannot really name them. But here's a nostalgic song from her, about a woman who has finally met her loved or ex flaming love and she Chronicles the dialogue and the kind of questions she asks him. She talks about her kids and her mother. The music is out of this world, and it's something the elites can enjoy. However, the tale she sings, will resonate with immigrants and their time spent away form loved ones.
That's the awesome concept behind Fayrouz's formula for smashing success, songs that bring together two things few could see possible. Fusion of jazz and Eastern music, telling folks music but with sophistication.
فيروز _ كيفك انت
I find this woman so beautiful it's hard to look at her.
