Lebanese singer May Nasr April 18, 2009

May Nasr has inspired a world-wide following with her plaintive voice and meditative music. She often focuses on the plight of the Lebanese people in her music, using songs of peace, love, and resilience to inspire positive change in local and global Arab communities. A strong voice for social justice as well, Nasr helps support local charities and organizations throughout the world with her many popular concerts.

"When I sing, whether alone or in front of a crowd, I forget about everything around me and just let my heart do the reaching out through the melody and meaning I so wish to convey. It is like a meditation for me, and it gives me deep satisfaction and gratitude to see that other people actually find it as satisfactory for them to hear me sing." - May Nasr
