Background notes
Archive material and source history
Fairouz was born Nouhad Haddad in 1934 in Beirut. She started singing on radio when she was 14, and took the stage name Fairouz, which means turquoise, in 1950. In 1952 she began working with the Rahbani brothers, Assi and Mansour, who wrote much of her material.
Her song 'Li Beirut' became an anthem for the city. She recorded more than 80 albums, including 'Al Batroul' in 1973 and 'Eh Fi Amal' in 1995. During the Lebanese Civil War she performed in areas controlled by different factions, which drew some criticism, but she generally avoided taking sides.
Other songs like 'Bhebak Ia Libnan' and 'Sa'aluni-n-Nass' are part of her repertoire. She sang traditional Arab music and folk songs, along with contemporary compositions written by the Rahbanis.
