Rest in Peace Salwa Katrib

Again Salwa passed away in 2009, and I am only scratching the surface of her musical legacy. She was the it girl of the 70s and the 80s, and not too many people outside Lebanon theater circles know this under rated singer. I place Salwa Katrib in the place of Fayrouz with the romantic chops of Elissa (Elissa has covered Salwa's old songs and so is Carole Samahe).

Here is one of her songs that I came across recently and boy, did it hit me the right place? I'am impressed with how strong her voice and soft at the same time. She really knew how to manipulate her voice to fit the song she is performing.

This song is about hope and never giving up or losing sight of what's important. The title is "Maybe Tomorrow" uncertainty. Whoever wrote the music is also a legend he took us from one place into another and leaving us wanting more because we will forget the night and its loneness nights away from the loved one.
