Why Fairuz? "On August 4, 2020, the day of the explosion in the port of Beirut, a day of nightmare, stupor and amazement, the voice of Fairuz resonated like never before in my heart.
It is not surprising that Mouna Rebeiz chose Fairuz, one of the most famous singers in the Arab world, as her muse. Since the 1950s, she has never stopped singing about the love of her country, Lebanon. During the Lebanese civil war, between 1975 and 1990, for fear of being taken over by one of the camps, she remained silent, becoming by this long silence a symbol of peace and unity. "Only the breath of Fairuz gathers all Lebanese" explains Mouna Rebeiz.
50% of the price of the work is for the benefit of the Safe World Peace NGO.
