If you live in Lebanon, you can become a star quicker than if you live in Syria, if you life in Egypt you are much likely to become a star than if you lived in Syria. But Syria has a lot of great talent in that country, and those singers tend to relocate to Lebanon where the music business is in full swing.
While Syria is a great market for TV dramas where they produces dozens of quality shows, Syria has failed to make the same impact on Arabic music. Which brings us to Nancy Zaablwai, a talented young singer who has been singing professionally since 2008. But she has not released an album until 2011.
While I disagree with her politic on Syria, I have nothing but praises on her voice, style and the melodies she works with. Her new album titled "El Dommo3" Arabic for tears does not sound like a happy album, so you will be getting a lot of minor keys with her piano voice, that makes a treat.
