Two Useful Chunks To Learn From ‘Bukra Shi Nhar’ by Julia Boutros

In this post, I’ll share two easy chunks (phrases) that are found in the song which you can use in everyday conversations in Levantine Arabic.

Julia Boutros is a famous Lebanese singer and the song is one of my favourite songs by her.

So keep calm, play the song and learn a chunk (or two). 😀

21 Female Angelic Voices From the Levant

Weeks ago, I compiled a list of alternative rock bands and solo artists from the Levant (you can check it out here). So I figured this time, I’m going to do the same for beloved female artists from the Levant who are known for their angelic voices.

You’ll find songs in both Levantine Arabic and Fusha. And while the most obvious one is Fairouz, I have also listed Nedaa Sharara – the winner of The Voice 3 and also interestingly, one of the very few artists in the entertainment industry donning the hijab (you go girl!).

Plus, this list is not exhaustive. Don’t fret if you don’t see your favourite artist here. Feel free to name additional awesome female artists from the Levant in the comment section below 🙂

For now, scroll through the list and enjoy!
