Fayrouz Delights Fans as She Makes Rare Public Appearance

Reema Rahbany, the daughter of iconic Lebanese singer Fayrouz, shared Monday new photos of the acclaimed singer on social media.

Fayrouz, born on November 21, 1934, is one of the leading vocalists and most famous singers in the history of the Arab world. She is considered the musical icon of Lebanon and is known as "the soul of Lebanon". 

She began her singing career performing at the national Lebanese radio stations. Her first major hit, "Itab", was released in 1952 and made her an instant star in the Arab world. 

In the 1950s, her voice was united with the outstanding musical compositions of the Rahbani brothers. Fayrouz married Assi, one of the Rahbani brothers, on January 23, 1955. 

The trio succeeded in enriching the memory of Arabic music with magnificent and unforgettable hits and musical plays such as “Mais El Rim”, “Lolo”, “Baiaa’ El Khawatem”, and “El Mahata". 

Her enormous discography and repertoire include 800 songs, 400 albums, and 15 musical plays. In 2020 September, French President Emmanuel Macron honored the pa with the “Legion of Honor,” the highest French distinction of military and civil merits.
