In this audiovisual talk, 𝗗𝗿. 𝗥𝗮𝗺𝘇𝗶 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗶 explores how Lebanon’s tumultuous history relates to the enduring musical legacy of Fairuz. Salti examines pivotal junctures in Lebanon’s past and present, using Fairuz’s music as a lens to explore the country’s shifting political, social, and cultural landscapes. Through an incisive analysis of Fairuz’s songs—resonating with the Lebanese people during moments of joy, hardship, and national identity formation—Salti traces how her music both mirrors and influences the nation’s spirit.
