Lebanese singer Najwa Karam announced that she will participate in this year’s Jarash Music Festival in Jordan, and plans to hold a concert on August 10.

 

She will not participate in the Carthage Festival in Tunisia.

 

According to the London based Elaph, Najwa’s business manager Karam Tareq Abu Jodeh, who is also her nephew, said there were never any issues between Najwa and the administration of the Jarash Festival, is just took time to agree upon a time for her performance. Finally, the she had to cancel a prescheduled concert in order to be present at the festival, said Tareq.

 

On a different note, Tareq confirmed the rumor that the singer will take part in a new film is not true, and that starting an acting career is not on her current agenda.

 

Najwa will be taking time off from her hectic schedule. She especially needs to relax after her most recent tour in the United States of America, he added.
Recently Najwa took part in a musical alongside actor Yousef Al Khal, as part of her latest music video, directed by Salim Turk. Turk transformed the singer into a theatrical star, like those of the popular ‘Rahbani’ plays.


‘Rotana Production Company’ released Najwa’s latest album “Kibber El Hub” (Love got Greater). The album features eight new songs, many in the traditional Lebanese style that initially earned her popularity. The singer worked with some of the best composers, like Emad Shams El Din and Wisam Al Ameer on the album.
