The Coda #42: How Fairuz’s songs pointed to a life defending rights

from Strength & Solidarity · host Strength & Solidarity

Farah Abou El Sel recalls the mornings in her Lebanese childhood, when the silken, plangent voice of Fairuz could be heard in every street, welcoming the day. Farah grew up hearing and loving the songs without thinking much about the lyrics. But in hindsight she sees how profoundly Fairuz’s empathy and humanist message has shaped her life choices, including her decision to work in human rights. https://strengthandsolidarity.org/podcasts/Contact us at [email protected] are now publishing our newsletter on Substack, if you would like to subscribe: ⁠https://strengthandsolidarity.substack.com/⁠Music credits:Fairuz - Wahdon, 1979Fairuz - Le Beirut, 1989
