Sources have revealed that the Music Production Company for Audio and Visual has created a list of singers, who are members, which they intend on ending their contract. Sources stated that this steps comes as the company’s way of restructuring and creating a new image for itself.

 

Some of the employees of the company have confirmed that one of the names on the list is prominent Lebanese singer Najwa Karam, stating that her name is on the top of the list, despite the fact that the singer’s latest album “Shu Hal Hala” (What is this Beauty) had achieved tremendous success and brought large profits.

 

On a different note, the radio station Mosaic FM held a press conference in honor of Najwa and in the presence of the Lebanese ambassador in Tunisia, who began the opening speech of the conference by calling on all artists from around the Arab world to help the Lebanese nation that is going through devastation as a result of Israeli bombarding.

 

The ambassador also thanked the Tunisian president for opening a special bank account for donations to the Lebanese people and thanked all Tunisians for their support to Lebanon.

She stated that she was in Tunisia to hold a number of performances in which all the proceeds will go directly to the Lebanese red cross to help all those in need in Lebanon.

 

At the conference Najwa said she will sing because she must to help her country and not for nay personal gains.  She called on all Lebanese artists to do what they feel is right to help their country whether they are inside or outside. She added that she will return to Lebanon because it’s her only home and her family is there and she would not think of going anywhere else.
