DESCRIPTION
The Rahbani name is familiar to most Arabs, but many people do not know who the Rahbani brothers really were. This afikra feature is an introduction to the life of Assi and Mansour Rahbani, their relationship with Fairuz, and how together they redefined mainstream Arabic music.
ABOUT THE AFIKRA COMMUNITY PRESENTATIONS
Delivered and prepared by afikra Community members, the presentation’s goal is to showcase the presenter’s curiosity and research, and share some knowledge on a topic related to the Arab world’s histories and cultures. The presentation is the culmination of the afikra coaching process to help identify a topic, find research, and develop the presentation. afikra presentations come in two forms, a long question-driven afikra Feature, and a short afikra FWD with the purpose of sharing something interesting.
