Nancy Ajram
Lebanese singer Nancy Ajram is a sensation throughout the Middle East. At the 2008 World Music Awards, she won the award for best-selling Arab/Middle Eastern artist, selling more than 30 million records by the end of 2007. That makes her one of the most popular female performers in Lebanese history—and she’s only 25!
Check out these videos of the young superstar:
Anne – it’s a shame that there are so many really talented artists in the world yet we (in the U.S.) are so stuck on the same tunes/artists that get churned out of the record labels.
Thanks for sharing this “find”.
That’s why I started listening to world music! Thanks, Beth!
