Biography:
 

Jahida Wahb? is a true all-rounder of a performer. Poet, comedian in the theatre, on television and in film, orator of poetry, she is also a singer/songwriter. ?Her voice gets into our very souls?, ?A silken voice?, ?the top tarab performer? says the Arab press about Jahida Wehb? concerts.

Born in Lebanon in 1969, Jahida Wahb? studied at the University of the Lebanon and at the Lebanese National Conservatory of Music where she learned oriental song, Syrian song, lyrical song and to play the 'ud (Middle Eastern lute).

Working with the great Lebanese theatre producers and with fellow comedienne Nidal al Achkar, soon made her famous in Lebanon. At home she is not only known for the exceptional quality of her voice but also for the strictness with which she chooses her repertoire. She only sings songs that were either composed for her, or were composed by writers of the inimitable 20s, such as Zakaria Ahmad, Sayed Darwish and Mohamed Kassabji. The words are always those of great poets.
