The Arabic singing of Fairuz and Ilham
When I travel abroad, I often like to bring back some local music. In the course of my recent visit to Syria and Lebanon, I bought CDs by two very popular Arabic singers and I’ve been listening to them again today.
The first singer is called Fairuz – her actual name is Nouhad Wadi Haddad and she is Lebanese. The CD that I have been listening to is called “The Very Best Of Fairuz”.
The second singer is Ilham – his full name is Ilham al-Madfai and he is Iraqi. The CD that I have been listening to is called “The Voice Of Iraq”.
Both of them are wonderful performers who are incredibly popular throughout the Middle East and I commend them to you if you have not come across them.
