Neighbor to the Moon, Ambassador to the Stars, the legend of today is yesterday's shy little village girl. The superstar is acclaimed by millions as magical, brilliant, and angelic.
Born and raised in Lebanon, Fairouz began her musical career as a teenager. From chorus girl at the Lebanese radio station in the late 1940s, to critical and popular acclaim from the 1950's to today, Fairouz is acknowledged not only for her musical talent and contribution, but also as a cultural and political icon. A symbol of a people, a heritage, a quest for peace, and of humanity.
Met with unprecedented enthusiasm, Fairouz's early songs featured the singer's distinct vocal timbre and lyrics expressing romantic love and nostalgia. They meshed with a delicate orchestral blend in which certain Arab instruments figured prominently but which also subtly incorporated European instruments and European popular dance rythms.
In 1956 she inaugurated the Baalbeck international Festivals, and since she has performed in almost all the capitals of the Arab world and in all the prestigious concert halls of the major American, European and Australian cities to highest acclaim. She also received the highest distinction in decorations and honors.
Through her rich oeuvre of theatrical pieces, uncountable love songs, liturgical hymns Bedouin refrains, symphonic compositions, "orientalized" tangos, and liturgical hymns, Fairouz remains the living legend of Arab song.
