Baalbeck remembers Oum Kalthoum

Egyptian artists Marwa Nagy and Mai Farouk performed with the Lebanese National Orchestra and the orchestration and conducting of Egyptian Maestro Hisham Gabr. Kalthoum’s iconic songs including Aghadan Alkak, Inta el Hob, Ana Fi Intizarak Malit, Alf Layla w Layla and Yamsaharni were performed along the cheers of the crowds at this historic site.
