Fairuz is one of the most iconic voices in the Arab world, often referred to as the “Jewel of Lebanon.” Born Nouhad Haddad in 1935, she rose to fame in the 1950s and 60s with her captivating voice and collaborations with the Rahbani Brothers, who wrote and composed many of her songs. Fairuz’s music blends classical Arabic traditions with Western influences, and her songs often touch on themes of love, longing, and homeland—especially her beloved Beirut.
Over the decades, Fairuz became a symbol of unity for Lebanon, admired across political and religious divides. Her morning broadcasts became a cherished ritual in many Lebanese households. With a career spanning more than six decades, Fairuz’s influence on Arabic music is immense, and her legacy as a cultural icon continues to inspire generations of listeners around the world.
