Fairouz / Ziad Rahbani - Eh Fi Amal

The title track of Fairouz’s 2010 album—her first in nearly ten years. The words: “yes, there is hope.” What really matters is who sings it: Nouhad Haddad, born in Beirut in the ’30s, a voice that never took sides during fifteen years of civil war. The music is by her son Ziad—more jazz now, less of the Rahbani Brothers’ countryside sound. #Lebanon
