Fans creating personal personal websites for Arab singers has become a popular trend nowadays. The most recent addition to the online world is Syrian singer Asalah Nasri. A dedicated group from the Asalah Nasri fan club are currently putting the final touches for her new website.
According to the London based Elaph, the new site will feature the latest news, photos, and reviews about Asalah. The site will be the first that is solely dedicated to the Syrian singer.
On a different note, in December 2002, Egyptian composer Hilmi Bakir filed a complaint to the head of the Musicians Association in Egypt against the Syrian singer for refusing to pay him for song composed. The complaint was submitted to the association claiming that Hilmi demands actions should be taken against the singer after her refusal to pay his wages for one of the songs he composed for her during a private concert.
Asalah nger is planning to present her fans with a new song for the prominent Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish. The song, which will be one of the highlights of her upcoming album, is to be composed by Kamal Al Taweel, although an agreement has not been finalized. According to the London baed Elaph, Asalah is currently on a visit to Lebanon.
Asalah is known for being a highly emotional singer. Her silky, multi-layered voice enables her to improvise and helps sustain her individuality and reputation as one of the leading Arabic singers today. She continuously creates variations on the melody (arabesques), while her voice perfectly hits high and low quarter notes.
Asalah Nasri, the daughter of the well-known singer, Mustafa Nasri, began her singing career at the age of nine by focusing on national and children’ songs. Her quick rise to stardom dates from her early television appearances, the first of which was on the Lebanese TV program “Stars” produced by Jordanian Hasib Yousef. Further television appearances have made her a popular star all over the Arab World. -Albawaba.com
