Najwa Karam Career

Life and career

Najwa Karam Karam was born in Zahlé, Lebanon, to a family of Lebanese Christians. She is the youngest daughter of Karam Karam (who died on September 7, 2013) and Barbara Chahine Karam. Salwa, her older sister, and three older brothers, Tony, Jean, and Nicolas (both died on February 28, 2017, aged 58), are among her many older sisters. Karam spent her childhood in Nue, France, under the custody of her parents and older siblings. Karam was known among her friends and relatives for her ferocious singing voice from an early age.

Karam attended secondary school at Jesus the Angel College, after her parents stressed the importance of an education and a stable career. She then went on to earn a bachelor's degree in philosophy. For two years, Karam served as a Geography and Arabic teacher at Eastern College in Zahlé, Lebanon.

Karam stayed fascinated in music even though she began her teaching career. She competed in "Layali Lubnan" (Lebanese Nights) in 1985, against her father's wishes. Karam, a Lebanese Mawwal, gained the first place, Gold Medal, alongside limited public exposure and her father's approval. Karam spent four years at the Lebanese Institute of Music, owing to her successes. Zaki Nasif and Fouad Awad, two well-known Lebanese composers, mentored her during this period. Laylat Haz, an international television competition in 1987, where she gained more exposure and prepared for her first attempt at breaking into the Arabic music industry in 1989.

Relax-in International, Karam's first studio album, was released in 1989 by a then-little-known record company. There were seven songs on the album, with all of them in Lebanese traditional/folkloric style. Due to her previous exposure to the Lebanese public, the album was well-received in Lebanon, but the Arab world paid no attention to it.

Karam returned to the stage with her sequel, Shams el-Ghinnieh, after a three-year absence from music-making. "Shams el-Ghinnieh" ("sun of the song") inspired the album title. Lebanese people and media featured her on this site because of her vocal skills. CM, a small record store, released the album. In comparison to Karam's debut album, Ya Habayeb, which was more traditional, the album was more romantic and modern. The Lebanese public treated Shams el-Ghinnieh very well.

Karam's new album, which was released in 1993, was signed by another record company. This time, it was also a little less well-known Saudi Arabian company. Ana Ma'akon ("I am with you") does not represent Karam's cultural identity, not reflecting Karam's artistic identity. The album was in style and very different from Shams el-Ghinnieh. Despite her dissatisfaction, she had no choice but to release it, bound by a deal with her production company. The album did not do as well as Shams el-Ghinnieh as expected. Bad marketing and a lack of resources did not help much, and they were blamed for the album's poor sales. It's still Karam's least well known album.

Karam's fortunes turned around when she was approached by Rotana, the Middle East's largest recording company owned by Saudi Arabian Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal. An understanding was reached between the two sides, and Karam was now on Rotana's roster.

Right away, work on a new album began. Expert writers, writers, and composers were recruited to help Karam reclaim public interest and captivate the wider Arab audience. An album containing eight new songs had been assembled by mid-1994 and was ready to be released to the Middle East. Naghmet Hob (The Rhythm of Love) mashup Lebanese tradition with Arab pop. "If I Loved You" ("If I Loved You"), it's catchy Lebanese dance song "Law Habaytek" ("If I Loved You") was a instant hit, introducing Najwa Karam to the Middle East, bringing Najwa Karam to all of the Middle East. The album and its video clip dominated the Arabian charts. Its sequels to "Wrood Eddar" ("Roses of the Garden") and "Elala" ("La La"), which were both very popular.

Naghmet Hob's burgeoning popularity earned Karam the opportunity to appear on stage and gain a number of awards, including a Lebane Broadcasting Association award for Best Artist of 1994.

In less than a year, Karam had risen to the top of the Arabic music scene, and was now in the public eye. She began working on her second Rotana album in 1995, her fifth release in total. It was named Ma Bassmahlak and closely followed Naghmet Hob's traditional style. The main difference between the songs was their lyrical and vocal nature, which had more depth. Two of the songs, "I Won't Allow You") and "The Judge Has Spoken," were among the others that were riding the wave of her fame.

Karam has a well-known celebrity in the Arabic music industry, with five albums under her belt, the latter two of which saw international success. She released Hazi Helo ("I'm Lucky") on June 16, 1996. The album's title track, "Hazi Helo" and three others, "Khayarouni," "Ala Mahlak" and "El-Ghorbil," were among the album's most popular songs.

Following the unveiling of Hazi Helo, Karam began on a large-scale world concert tour that would visit several Arab states, parts of Europe, and America. She discovered a number of fans in the United States and performed many sold-out concerts. The City of Chicago gave the Key to her success in Karam.

Karam returned to Lebanon with a fresh attitude and fresh song inspirations after the sell-out world tour. Ma Hada La Hada's next studio album got off, and so began work on her next album project. The album's tracks were very different from those of Karam's previous albums, with more modern sounds. For example, foreign beats and synthesized melodies heavily influence the song "El Helw." The song El Tahady was released to Arabic radio stations three months before the album's official release. The song's success had dwindled by the time of the album's debut, and Ma Hada La Hada's modest sales were attributed to this factor. However, the title track was not new. The Qanoun, the traditional Lebanese instrument, was used in concert with other traditional instruments, such as the violin and the accordion. The song became a big success thanks to these musical styles, as well as an upbeat song theme and a catchy "mini-movie" video clip.

Maghroumeh's 1998 debut marked Karam's "official" transition from strictly traditional Lebanese artist to a mix of traditional and contemporary Arabic that she is well-known for today. It had poetic Arabic lyrics sung with Karam's unique position and authority, as well as a slew of Arabic instruments (trumbakke, mijwiz, zamour, tabal, etc.). There are vintage and modern designs for the album cover, as well as a brand new one for the album cover. Maghroumeh was another hit in Karam. "I Am in Love" was shot as a video clip and was the most popular hit on the album, with most radio stations in the region ranking top number one. Other hits included the feisty "Ghamza" ("The Wink") and the sad love song "Noqta al-Satr" ("Somewhere along the line").

A number of changes in Karam's professional life have occurred in the new year. Her new album Rouh Rouhi was set to be released in the summer, and her personal changes were evident in her latest album Rouh Rouhi. It was similar to the Maghroumeh album but had a few changes in the vocal and musical styles. The musical arrangements were extensive and complex, and the lyrics were more poetic than any other Karam albums. The album "Ariftu Albi La Meen" ("Do you know who my heart belongs to?" The album's key hits were "Atchana" ("Thirsty") and "Rouh Rouhi" ("Soul of my Soul"), with the latter two being shot as music videos. Many other artists such as "Kif Bdawik" ("How Does I Treat You?" "I Don't Allow Anyone Beside You" and "Ma Berda Ghayrak" are among them.

Najwa Karam's life has undergone another change this year. This time, it came in the form of an audio book called Oyoun Qalbi. Compared to Karam's previous albums, Oyoun Qalbi was a more reflective body of work. "I Must" ("I Want To"), "power ballets"), "Oyoun Qalbi" ("Sweetheart"), and "Khaleek al Ard" ("Stay down to Earth") were among the major titles included in this series. For the Najwa 2000 megamix, a music video was made, which featured excerpts from each song on the Oyoun Qalbi album. The album has sold over 5 million copies, despite its success on charts. It has the highest-selling Arabic album of all time, as it hits a new high.

Karam made her history by releasing Nedmaneh in 2001. It's one of Karam's most popular albums to date. It grew from the style of music first introduced by Karam in Oyoun Qalbi and then moved to new styles and sounds. "Aaskah" ("Falling in Love") was a huge hit in the Middle East, and it was also extremely popular in other countries. It was a more playful and vibrant song than any of Karam's earlier work, with a solid bass line and a distinct oriental influence. It was very different from any Arabic song at the time and attracted a large audience. Album Nedmaneh's success brought about a variety of awards, including a coveted Murex D'or for "Best Arabic Artist" award, as well as three special awards from Karam's production company, Rotana: "Artist of the Year" and "Highest Selling Album."

An honouring assemble was held on Saturday, June 23rd, 2001, where Karam was honoured for her performances throughout her career and for Nedmaneh's meteoric success. The wedding took place at the Venesia Hotel in Beirut, Lebanon. The Lebanese Minister of Information, Ghazi Al-Aredi, the President of the Lebanese Republic, Émile Lahoud, celebrated composer Elias Rahbani, and a number of journalists and journalists were among those in attendance. Karam performed some of her hits (old and new), and was rewarded with a slew of medals and trophies throughout the night. The recording was released on a limited edition CD (Live in Concert), as well as a compilation CD of Najwa's hits from 1989-2000 titled The Very Best Of Najwa Karam.

Audiences noted that Karam's 2002 album, Tahamouni, was much removed from the "easygoing" modern feel of Oyoun Qalbi and Nedmaneh's "easy-going" contemporary feel of Oyoun Qalbi and Nedmaneh's "easy-going" modernity, as shown by the singers. The album was designed to bring a younger audience from other Arab countries, with some who had expressed disinterest in Karam's music from the late 90s. This was shown by songs such as Tahamouni (They accused me) and Ew'a Tekoun Ze'alt (I hope you are not mad at me) that seemed to have a complete Western influence. The songs had a youthful sound.

Karam began meeting with Lebanese "tarab" actor Wadih el Safi in late 2002 (born 1919). El Safi had been in Karam for a while and was pleasantly surprised by her vocal skills. The two of them decided to make a duet together, displaying the struggles of a father-daughter relationship. W Kberna (We grow old together) was a massive ballad in which both vocalists displayed a wide range and depth. W Kberna was a hit as the lyrics were simple to comprehend, and the project brought together two of the region's most well-known artists.

Karam went back to the drawing board for a new album after this success. Months of piecing together lyrics and arrangements, and by mid-2003, the album was ready to be released. Rotana held a huge launch party in Downtown Beirut, where over fifteen thousand of Karam's followers packed the streets to see her and sing her new material.

Saharni (Charmed) was a rebirth of the "old Najwa Karam" and surprised the world by a surprise, as they had come to expect contemporary pop from the Shams el-Ghinnieh at this time. The music reflected distinctly Lebanese music: trumbakke solos, traditional wind instruments, ample bass, and a vivacious singing style, among others. Not only had Karam's music updated, but the album's designers emphasized that it was a revival. Saharni's success was instant, despite the fact that there were no video clips for the songs existed, the album debuted on top of the charts and sold a number of major hits, including Edhak Lil Dounya (Smile to the world) and the title track Saharni (He charmed me).

Karam went on a world tour to complement Saharni's achievements, covering the Middle East as well as destinations such as France and the United States with Wadih el Safi. She has also traveled to Australia. Her appearance in the largest ever recorded concert attendance for an Arabic artist. In 2003, Karam was given a number of awards and honors. These include "Most Selling Album" from Rotana, "Best Singer of Traditional Lebanese Song" from the Lions Club, "Song of the Year": Edhak Lil Donya from Sawt El Ghad Australia, and an honorary award from the Australian Government.

Karam began a new single that would be included in her forthcoming album as the New Year came and went. This one will be like no other she's ever had seen before.

Titled Leish Mgharrab?

(Why are you living abroad?)

It brought to life, the hardships that people face when trying to leave their home country for a better life. A groundbreaking new music video (directed by Sa'aed el-Marouk) that would make modern day Beirut a bleak and rugged wasteland in 2020 was coupled with this bleak topic. The original video, which also included videos of people protesting against the Lebanese government, had been barred from being broadcast by the Lebanese Parliament. When the clip was edited marginally, it was finally allowed to air, as well as its song. Those people who live in countries such as Australia and the United States are particularly affected by it. It also sent a letter to Lebanese politicians, urging them to move on their words.

Karam had completed the majority of her latest album, Shu Mghaira, after a few months. It was clearly Lebanese, like Saharni, but it was more of a modern adaptation, with a reflective and sad overtone. Najwa performed in many live appearances to promote the album, and her sell-out concert in Carthage, Tunisia, attracted thousands of enthusiastic fans. The tracks Bi Hawak (In your passion) and Shu Mghaira (How you've changed) were shot in an expensive duel video clip that was packed with special effects. On the Rotana Top 20 Chart, it remained at the top of the charts for six weeks. The two songs were among the most popular from the album, and Karam was named "Female Artist of the Year" by MusicanaNet.net, which was based on a large internet poll.

Shu Jani, Karam's second single and video clip, was released in the second quarter of 2005. Shu Jani was a modern pop song with the use of traditional Lebanese instruments. Director Sa'aed el-Marouk's video was shot in Lebanon's Faraya ski resort. It was supposed to be on her forthcoming 2005 album. In some tabloids, the new clip was mocked because it was launched during Lebanon's tense electoral season as well as the so-called Cedar Revolution (Independence Intifada). These tabloids argued that releasing new information at a time when it was inappropriate for Karam. Karam defended herself by putting the blame on her Saudi production firm, Rotana, who claims the company was quick-tracked her release against her wishes. Despite the fact that Shu Jani was the subject of some controversies, it did a good job with the general.

Karam's 2005 album was postponed from being released in June, July, and then postponed until November 2005 due to the continuing unrest in Lebanon. However, Karam's Bhebak Walaa, an upbeat, modern/traditional song typical of Karam's normal repertoire, was released in late July. On many internet and radio charts, it was a big hit, peaking at number one. The video for Bhebak Walaa, directed by Salim el-Turk, was released on September 6, 2005.

Billboards and unipolls over Beirut were all displayed by a woman's hand as a result of a misty weather. No writing was on the posters. The public was left wondering what message the posters were relaying and who did the mysterious hand belong to? Soon, it was generally agreed that the hand belonged to a recording artist, but there were many conflicting claims as to whose it was. The billboards gradually developed pieces of the lady until the "mystery lady" was revealed as Najwa Karam on November 30, 2005.

Kibir'el Hob (Love Just Got More), Karam's 15th studio album, was unveiled on the same day. The album's robust advertising campaign attracted a lot of attention, including billboard ads, many television appearances [on famous variety shows such as Dandana and Akeed Maestro] and music video clips for singles. During the Christmas season, Kibir'el Hob topped the top selling album chart in Lebanon for Rotana, and it remained in the top spot through the New Year. Karam's third and last single from the Kibir'el Hob album, as well as a video clip, debuted in mid-April 2006 and was one of the year's most popular Arabic songs.

For the first time since the 2006 Israel-Lebanon war, Karam teamed up with Lebanese singer/songwriter Melhim Barakat to record the song Rah Yeb2a El Watan. Barakat wrote and composed the track, which called for unity among all Lebanese people. The single was released in late September and was widely praised for its message and vocals, but it was also criticized for its brief run time. Plans for a second collaboration with Barakat are underway.

Sawt el Ghad and several other Arab radio stations began to play the new hit "Hayda Haki" on May 28. This song, which has a very modern look, was expected to be a big success in 2007.

On June 6, 2007, Rotana released Najwa's 16th album, Hayda Haki. Najwa Karam's unique flavor makes this Lebanese album a new Lebanese album. This collection of 8 excellent songs as well as classic ones.

In each song, there are various styles. In Raje3 Tes2al 3a Meen, a strong mawal and El hanone's nice/soft mawal. Ana Rouh and Nawer Eyami are two of a kind romance songs, and law ma btekzob is similar to her 90s hits. Hata Be Ahlamak, Hayda Haki, and Behkik are upbeat songs with various styles in each one as well as Najwa Karam's touch. Hayda Haki was the next artist (after her 2006–2007 hit Shu Hal Hala) that Najwa Karam shot as a video clip with Lebanese director Said el Marouk.

Hayda Haki's first week on record was the best-selling album in Lebanon, and Kwait Number one was the best selling album in the UAE. From the first week of its debut in Lebanon, the Gulf, Libya, Syria, Jordan, and other Arab countries, the album had a good run.

On MBC 1, Najwa Karam appeared as a guest on the show Album. She shone on Album's stage on June 29, 2007, just a week before she's last prime was announced.

Hayda Haki, a video clip that featured her character in a romantic atmosphere and love photos, debuted in June and landed on the 1st position in the charts' first day.

Najwa Karam went to Canada with Lebanese Stars Wael Kfoury and Fadel Shaker, the tour lasted just over a month, and was all about success. The American concerts were held in Chicago, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Detroit, Las Vegas, Detroit, New Jersey, Boston, and Miami. And in Canada, concerts were held in Ottawa, Montreal, and Toronto, playing in the country's most prestigious venues.

Karam's director Fadi Haddad's "Law Ma Btekzob" video clip was released after four days. The song has enjoyed a huge success in the Middle East. The song Behkeek, alongside Law Ma Btekzob's, was achieving unexpected success in Egypt and Lebanon, ranking #2 in both charts for a few weeks.

On May 31, one of Karam's most awaited appearance on television show Al Arab (Final), with host Nishan, was broadcast. Fairuz, Sabah, Wadih El Safi, and Samira Tawfiq performed medley of her older and new songs as well as newly added tracks. "Wainak Ya Ra3i Deni" (Where is she God?) She also performed one of her old mawal "Wainak Ya Ra3i Deni." It's called "Mawal El Adyan" and it was a hit.

Am Bimzah Maak, Rotana's 17th studio album, was released on July 17, 2008 (I'm Joking with you). The album received a lot of praise and critical feedback. There were eight songs on the album. Melhim Baraket, one of Egypt's most popular Arabic composers, composed two songs from the album, "Kammil 3ala Rouhi" and "Gatalna El Khof." The album remained at number one in Virgin Mega Store Lebanon for three months, 4 weeks in UAE Virgin Mega Store, 8 weeks in Saudi Arabia, etc. Rotana, Karam's production house, announced that Najwa Karam's last album, Am Bimzah Maak, was one of the top three best-selling (Rotana) albums in the Middle East. Virgin MegaStore Jordan selected it as one of the top three most popular albums of 2008.

Despite four songs from Aam Bimzah Maak; "Am Bimzah Maak," "Enter The Shams," "Amanti Galbi," "Bamzah Maak"), and "Taa Khabik" where she performed for the first time with Lebanese young director Randa Aalam, we're sharing a lot of success across the Middle East, Karam released her second video clip from her latest album "Ma Bkhabi

"Taa Taa Khabik" by Karam's 3rd video clip from her smashing album "Aam Bimza7 Maa" was shot on "Taa Taa Khabik." It appeared on many Music channels in the Middle East and gained a lot of traction in Lebanon, Maghreb, Syria, Jordan, and the Gulf countries.

Karam attended Hala Febrayer 09 in Kuwait in February 2009, one of the Middle East's most popular concerts. For the large audience, she performed a blend of old and new songs.

Najwa Karam performed her anticipated single "El Deni Em" (A mother is a whole world), which gained a lot of attention and remained the most popular on the Online Magazine "Elaph" for three weeks on Mother's Day.

Najwa Karam traveled to Morocco in May 2009 to perform at the Mawazine Festival. Her opening performance attracted a large audience of more than 90,000.

Rotana released Khallini Shoufak, Karam's 18th album, on June 10th (Let me see you). There are eight songs on the album, each with a unique style of music and catchy lyrics. It's worth noting that three other songs, "Eidak" (your hand), "Allah Yesghello Balo" (may God make him anxious), and "Aboos Eynak" (kiss your eye), are all getting a lot of buzz: it's worth mentioning). The remaining songs are: "Wale" (light the fire), "El Deni Em" (a mother is a mother), "Albi Masna' Baroud" (my heart is a gun factory), and "El Haramy" (the thief). The album is considered to be Karam's best return to her original style since Saharny (2003). "It's full of folkloric, balady songs, similar to Saharny and her 90s debuts," Karam said. "Khallini Shoufak"'s video was released about the same time as her CD.

Karam was a guest performer on Lebanon's (Lebanon) final prime. (Let Me See You) and her new album, "Am Bemzah Ma'ak" (I'm joking with you), "Ta'a Khabeek" (Let me hide you), and her new single, "Khallini Shoufak) are among her many hits. On ABU DHABI TV, she appeared on Layali El Samar on March 25, 2010. In addition, Karam appeared on Taratata, Dubai TV, and immediately after she appeared on television show Akher Man Ya3lam, she became the guest star on the television show Akher Man Ya3lam.

Sawt El Ghad Radio, Beirut's latest hit "Bil Rou7, Bil Dam" (with soul and blood) started on May 7, 2010. The new hit single was the first song of Karam's to be made directly from Rotana in 17 years. The album and its video clip, as well as the Guinness world record for the largest plate of tabbouleh, sponsored by Karam, were well received and enjoyed.

On November 11, 2010, Karam's next album, "Lashhad Hobbak," will be released (I'll beg for your affection). Its video clip aired on Rotana Music Channels, attracting a large audience due to its classy looks, such as the spider-webbed appearance. The song became extremely popular among the masses. Karam wore the beaded full spider-web bodysuit, designed by Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad and later used by Jennifer Lopez in her music video, "On the Floor."

Despite lingering questions regarding a new deal between Karam and Rotana Production Company, after many meetings with Salem El Hendi, Karam has decided to return to Rotana in late 2010. Haifa Wehbe attended the dinner party, which came after the press conference that she was delighted to accept Karam's invitation and delighted to be a part of the festivities.

After Karam decided not to postpone her forthcoming album, a song called "Wayn" appeared on the internet. The song was discovered stolen from the Najwa Karam Office and released without her permission. Khallini Shoufak, a three-year-old singer, was released three years ago in 2009 and was taken from that year's compilation. Despite being illegally posted, the album was well-received and was played on numerous radio stations. Its slow rhythm and different style, which is unique to Karam's music, has ranked among the top ten singles and became a hit.

Rotana released Hal Leile...MaFi Noum (Tonight...There's No Sleep) on June 28, 2011, Najwa Karam's 19th studio album. "MaFi Nolum (There's No Sleep)" and "Shu Hal Leile (What a Night) were both released as singles prior to the album's release, but "Law Bas Taaraf" (If You'd Only Know) was the third and final single. Following its debut on Virgin Megastore Charts, the album debuted at number three, replacing Nawal Al Zoghbi's album Ma'rafsh Leh, which had been dominating the Lebanese charts for five months. Karam is credited with three of the album's songs, "Mafi Noum," "Shu Hal Leile," and "Eainy Bi Eainak." The title track and lead single "MaFi Noum" employs the experimental "Doum Tac" Derbake notes as part of the chorus. In interviews, Karam reiterated the meaning and value of the "Doum Tac" music notes and his reasoning behind their use. It has since been recognized as Najwa Karam's signature brand.

A 3D music video for the album's debut, "Ma Fi Noum," was released, becoming the first 3D music video in the Middle East. In collaboration with Lebanese W&P Production Group, two professional teams from the United States and the United Kingdom produced the music video. Waleed Nassif produced the video and Rotana produced it. Abdelmalek Al Baljani, a Moroccan dance solo, appears in the first sequence of the video. Karam was captivated by Al Baljani's talents on Arab's Got Talent, and she promised to include him in her next film on Live television. In the Kesserwan area of Basateen Al Ossi, Jeita Grotto, and the Mansourieh studio, the three-day shooting took place in Northern Lebanon, at Nahr Ibrahim. On Saturday, the 3D music video premiered at the ABC Achrafieh theater in Lebanon, and was seen in 600 3D Sony showrooms and outlets around the Arab world.

It was also ranked number one for six months in a Virgin Megastore in Lebanon, and it fell off the top of the 100 top albums on iTunes Brazil.
