Fairuz - فيروز في أميركا Fairuz In America
Review by Gert Heres
Fairuz In America is an album that showcases the legendary Lebanese singer's versatility and range. The album features a mix of traditional Arabic songs, as well as English covers of American classics like "My Funny Valentine" and "Besame Mucho."
Fairuz's voice is as powerful and emotive as ever, and she effortlessly transitions between languages and genres. The album is a testament to her ability to bridge cultures and bring people together through music.
The production is top-notch, with lush arrangements and a mix of acoustic and electronic instrumentation. The album has a timeless quality to it, and will appeal to both longtime fans of Fairuz and newcomers to Arabic music.

About Fairuz
Born and educated in Beirut, she began her musical career as a chorus member at the Lebanese Radio Station. In the late 1950s her talent as a singer became fully acknowledged.
Fayrouz's early songs featured the singer's distinct vocal timbre and lyrics expressing romantic love and nostalgia for village life. 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. She also sometimes sang adaptations of Arab folk tunes.
By the early 1960s Fayrouz was already one of the main attractions of the annual Baalbeck Festivals and a celebrity not only in Lebanon but throughout the Arab world. The dissemination of hundreds of songs, many musical plays and several films had widened her audience to include Arabs living in Europe and the Americas.
During most of her singing career, Fayrouz was part of a three-member team which included the two Rahbani brothers.
was married to . They had four children: , (Layal Rahbani), Hali Rahbani and (Rima Rahbani).
