The 4 Cats

The 4 Cats (Arabic: الفور كاتس‎) is a Lebanese band made up of four ladies: Dalida, Maya, Raya and Aline. They are also called, 4 Cats. The band is famous for singing oldies in Arabic. The members in the band have changed frequently.The 4 cats were created in 1998 by the Lebanese musical composer and singer [Ghassan Al-Rahbani]. The band members were Dalida, Zaina, Chantal & Rula. The reason behind naming them the 4 cats, as Ghassan stated in an interview that took a place in 1998, that 3 girls is not a convenient number and 5 is too many, so four is the best. He named them the 4 cats because cats are a very feminine and they are girly. The band did a video for a song called "Achra, Hdach, Tnash" "10, 11, 12", even though this song was featured on their first album "Tick-Tick" the video as the band stated, isn't considered to be their first and that it was leaked. After the release of this video, Rula left the band due to family problems. Rula was replaced by Nicole Saba, and after that they released a video clip for their song " Ya Nasini". The band continued recording their first album and released it in 1999. After that the band released their 2nd official video clip "Kan El-Zaman".Wikipedia
