Lovers of Fairouz, check out this rendition of "Bint al-Shalabiyya" by Lebanon's premier choral ensemble, @BeirutVocal, directed by my mother @JanmarieLive.
This song is a lovely example of "East-East" cross-cultural influence. It has inspired Iranian and Turkish versions (and also Hindi, Greek, and Spanish ones). The Rahbanis drew upon an old Syrian folk tune ("al-`Azubiyya) as the basis for Bint al-Shalabiyya. For more, see below:
