Biography:
At a time when the giants of Lebanese music had either passed away, retired, or moved on to pop or jazz like Fairuz, Najwa Karam almost singlehandedly popularized traditional Lebanese music again in the Arab world. She is one of the most popular and active Lebanese singers. Najwa’s intelligence, determination, as well as her unique and powerful voice, have made her a musical force to be reckoned with. Nobody can replace Najwa, because she has made her own niche.

Najwa was born on February 26, 1966, In Zahle, the youngest of Nicolas Karam’s four children. She spent her childhood in Zahle, with her parents and brothers, whom always filled it with happiness and joy. She graduated with a degree in Philosophy and worked as a teacher for two years. In 1985, she started her singing career after she participated in Layali Loubnan and was awarded the golden medal.

She joined a musical institute for four years. She trained with Zaki Nassif for two years, and with Fouad Awad for remaining the two years. Her first album Ya Habayeb was released in 1989, but her breakthrough third album, Naghmet Hob, was her key to the Arab World. Najwa won many awards for her achievements in the world of music.
