There's one voice you'll hear in almost every café, car, and kitchen across Lebanon and Syria between eight and nine in the morning. Fairuz.
In this Levantine Arabic conversation, Maha and I talk about why Fairuz means so much to people across the Arab world. Not just as a singer, but as a part of childhood, mornings, coffee, and home. We talk about her voice, her decades of work with the Rahbani brothers, the cities she sang for, and how she stayed one of the most private figures in the region despite being one of the most famous.
