Fayrouz, The Arab National Treasure


I cannot think of one singer who is more beloved that the Lebanese diva Fayrouz who has been an Arab idol for generations. While Fayrouz is still with us, something we are grateful for, we want to celebrate this lady. Fayrouz made so many people happy, but the question is who is out there to make her happy?

I know every Christmas and New Year season, she hold two to three special concerts at home. Her tickers sell in seconds, and the concert has one of the best security out there. One cannot bring his phone into the concert, no media is allowed in....but for that the production company of her son. I am sure these DVDs will surface in time for us to see them.

Nothing brings Arabs together like her music, in the front row, you will find Egyptian celebrities, politicians, wealthy Lebanese and dirty rich Gulf men who know good music when they hear it. Fayrouz no longer tours or travels anywhere. Gone are the days when she came to DC and NY, if you want to listen to Fayrous you have to wait, shell top dollars and go to where she is. In the meantime, here's a list of her top ten songs are curated by some big fan of hers. music top 10 fayrouz P.S. There are currently two Egyptian singers who go by the name Fayrouz, they both offer different music, but in all honesty, they have started good careers.
