Lebanese singer Nourhanne has completed filming the music video for the song "Tab Wana Mali" (What is it my Business) under the direction of Camille Tanyous from Lebanon.

 

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.

 

In 2005 she received an Oscar for ‘best young Arab female artist’s voice’ at the ‘Oscar Video Clip Festival’ in Cairo for her song "men zaman" (Long Ago).

 

Nourhanne is scheduled to begin a tour around the Arab world, starting at the Dead Sea in Jordan, then heading to Bahrain and Egypt.
