The great Fairouz turned 80 last month. Her work used to be disseminated across the Levant by EMI Greece. Halcyon days.

  • Neil van der Linden says:

    Her age for ages was a public secret, but now it has come out. Meanwhile personally I am never happy with her interpretations of such mundane Western songs. Like in the case of Bach cantata’s and oratorio’s her (authentic Middle-East Christian) Good Friday music is much better than Christmas music.
