News Center- The Arab Thought Foundation (ATF) has launched a special publication named “Fairuz, A Homeland”, composed of a collection of articles, studies and testimonies on various aspects of Lebanese singer Fairuz's exceptional artistic career and journey.

Releasing a statement on its website, the foundation said, “The publication is the result of the collective efforts of various Arab writers and researchers who unanimously recognized Fairuz’s uniqueness, manifested in her voice and performance, and the genius of Al-Rahbani brothers, evident in their texts, melodies and music. This publication comes as a tribute to Fairuz, and in appreciation of the efforts that contributed to discovering her unique talent and launching her brilliant artistic career, led by the Rahbani trio; Assi, Mansour, and Ziad.”

The statement added, “The publication takes us on a fascinating journey through the legacy of Fairuz and the Rahbanis. It begins with general spotlights on an artist who “gave the Lebanese song an independent identity”. It then places a special focus on lyrics in Fairuz’s songs, which find their roots in classical Arabic poetry, and in the experiences of contemporary poets, where we encounter the dualities of heritage and modernity, romanticism and realism, local and Arab, as well as universal human experiences.”

The publication tells Fairuz roles and characters in cinema and on stage, including her parts in dramas, and the “Fairuz Film Trilogy” that added to her career more diversity and success and Fairuz's presence on the Arab and international scenes.
