Nora Rahal

Lebanese-Syrian singer/actress Nora Rahal was absent from the public eye for a long time in which she was being treated for breast cancer in Europe. She was virtually forgotten by the ever-changing music business. Thankfully, Nora was cured, and she returned in 2007 with a much stronger effort than her previous album. Dounyeti... Ahla was composed by Nora Rahal herself, Riyad El Hamshari, and a team of talented Lebanese composers: Tarek Abou Jaoudeh, George Marderosian, Iwan, and Haitham Zayyad. Aadi, Dounyeti... Ahla, and especially Azeb Albi and Ma Y'oulou are great songs that really reaffirm Nora's place in the music scene. The good tracks dominate in this album, with only one or two lackluster songs. Wel Ah is a good song but demands a much wider vocal range, and Ajmal Hawa is dull compared to the rest of this stellar album.http://tabbouchemusic.blogspot.com/2008/08/nora-rahal-dounyeti-ahla.html
