Lebanese artist Ziad Rahbani, son of Fairuz, dies aged 69
Rahbai is considered one of the most influential innovators in Lebanese music and satirical political theatre.
He began his artistic career in the early 1970s with his first acclaimed play 'Sahriyyeh' ("An Evening Gathering"), and later wrote and composed timeless songs for his mother Fairuz, including 'Kifak Inta' and 'Bala Wala Shi.'
His works were known for their sharp social and political critique, expressed through plays such as 'Nazl Al-Sourour,' 'A Long American Film,' and 'Bema Inno.' He was also recognised for blending oriental music with jazz and classical influences.

Today's Moon Mood: Saturday, August 2, 2025
Moon in Aquarius Theme: Emotionally detached… but in a 'save-the-world' kind of way. Today's Moon in Aquarius is giving main character at a protest-meets-cool kid in the group chat energy. You might feel like zooming out from personal drama to focus on the bigger picture — or suddenly craving space from anyone who's too clingy, controlling, or just... annoying. What You Might Feel: – Emotionally aloof but socially curious – Hyperaware of what feels outdated in your life (including people) – A strong urge to be weird on purpose — lean in Celestial Tea: The Moon is forming a friendly trine with Mercury, which means your brain and your feelings are (for once) on the same team. Conversations flow. Ideas spark. Group chats thrive. Self-Care Rx: – Unfollow someone who gives you the ick – Try something totally random just because it feels right (roller skates, new podcast, cold brew + oat milk experiment?) – Text that one friend who always gets your offbeat humor Mood Boost Mantra: "I honor what makes me different. That's where my magic lives." Best Signs for Today's Chaos: Gemini, Libra, Sagittarius — the squad you want when you're feeling revolutionary and a little rebellious. Today's Caution Light: Don't ghost your feelings too hard. It's cool to be chill — just don't freeze out your own heart. Join our FREE WhatsApp channel to dive into a world of real-time engagement!
