Syrian singer Asalah Nasri has signed an agreement with UAE singer Hussain Al Jasmi to do a duet together. The new single that will feature both singers will be the highlight of their upcoming new releases, reported the Saudi based daily Al Watan. This will not be the first time the two had worked together as they participated in the a number of concerts with eachother during the summer.
This will mark the second duet for the singer Asalah the first being with Tunisian singer Saber Al Ruba’ee. Their song “Ali Jara” (All That Happened), which is originally an old song and is repeatedly sung by singers at concerts like the Algerian singer Fula, received a huge success with Asalah’s fans.
Asalah had announced that the song “A’li Jara” was the last time she sings a song previously sung by other singers and from now on she will only perform songs especially written for her. Her agreement with the UAE singer came upon request from her fans, but she insisted that the song they sing will not be an old one and sung previously by anyone.
Asalah is known for being a highly emotional singer. Her silky, multi-layered voice enables her to improvise and helps sustain her individuality and reputation as one of the leading Arabic singers today. She continuously creates variations on the melody (arabesques), while her voice perfectly hits high and low quarter notes.
Asalah Nasri, the daughter of the well-known singer, Mustafa Nasri, began her singing career at the age of nine by focusing on national and children’ songs. Her quick rise to stardom dates from her early television appearances, the first of which was on the Lebanese TV program “Stars” produced by Jordanian Hasib Yousef. Further television appearances have made her a popular star all over the Arab World. -Albawaba.com
