Editor's note

Elissa, the Lebanese singer with a long-running career

A Lebanese vocalist whose hits like '3ayshalak' have soundtracked decades for many listeners.

If you're new to her work, '3ayshalak' and 'Bain El Ain' are good places to start. They give you a sense of what she does.

For a lot of people, Elissa's voice is tied to specific moments. '3ayshalak' from around 2002 became a major hit, and tracks like 'Ahla-Donya' and 'Ayame Bek' helped define her sound. She's been putting out music since the early 1990s, and that consistency matters.

Her first album was 'Bady Doub' in 1992. She released 'Ahla Donya' in 2004 and 'Bassota' in 2006, and her career has included public attention beyond the music, like the 2010 plagiarism accusations around 'Ya Sayyed Ishqi'.
