My Take
Sabah commands my respect as one of the true monuments of Arab music. Born Jeanette Feghali in the Lebanese mountains in 1927, she launched her career in Egypt and grew into a star across the entire Arab world, building a catalogue over six decades that dwarfed her peers. She earned the National Order of the Cedar and is rightly counted among the greatest Arab singers of the twentieth century. What moves me is that she kept singing through a region torn by upheaval; sustaining that joy across such turbulent times is its own kind of courage.
