Maya Nasri sings Ziyad Butros’ music

The young Lebanese singer Maya Nasri is currently gearing up for releasing a new album which includes seven songs, two of which are composed by the renowned Lebanese musician Ziyad Butros who has composed most of his sister, singer Julia Butros’ songs, according to the daily al Sharq al Awsat. 

The two songs Ya Msahharni al Layali (you make me awake all the nights) and Zakkerni Fik (remind me of you), were written by Nabil Abu Abdo and remixed by Egyptian musician Tareq Madkour. 

However, Maya Nasri who has moved fast in the world of singing after her theatrical performances, currently mulls performing a show that blends between both arts.  

“Nobody achieves what he dreams of but if we stop dreaming, there will no meaning for life. I was dreaming of acting and I did it; I dreamt of singing and I am singing these days. I currently mull performing a theatrical show,” Maya told the daily al Hayat.  

She added, “singing is more inclusive because it combines between the performance of the actress and sound of the singer. I did not quit acting as I still study at the university. Acting helped me in the musical videos as well as in standing in front of the camera. For example, I cannot convey feelings to the audience through the eyes.” -- Albawaba.com
