Nourhanne celebrates new video

Lebanese singer Nourhanne held a special launching ceremony for her latest music video for the song "Tab Wana Mali" (What is it my Business), under the direction of Camille Tanyous from Lebanon, surrounded by friends, colleagues, and the media.

 

After ironing out a few technical glitches the new video was presented, and Nourhanne held a press conference in which she answered questions regarding the clip, her work, and even her personal life.

 

According to the London based Elaph, the singer had broken a taboo by arriving before the guests to supervise preparations and welcome everyone as they arrived. Usually artists arrive after the last guest had been seated to create an air of prestige.

 

The song dates back to the fifties, originally featured in the film "Bain Al Qasrain" (Between Castles), written by novelist Najib Mahfouz.  Egyptian actor Nadia Lutfi played the leading role alongside Yahia Shahin.

 

In the clip Nourhanne plays the role of a movie star, based on Nadia Lutfi’s character from the film.

 

The Malaysian Ministry of Tourism has chosen Nourhanne to be the face of its new advertising campaign to promote tourism in Malaysia.

 

Nourhanne will film a television commercial featuring the most attractive sites in Malaysia, scheduled to be aired on a number of international television channels, like CNN.

 

At the age of 19 Nourhanne signed her first contract with ‘Rotana’ and released her first single "ti amo." Her official debut came with the release of her first album "Shaklo Kif?" (What Does he Look Like?), featuring her famous hit "Habibi ya Einy." The song now has two versions, the original and the postmodern remix that garnered high record sales in Europe in 2004.
