DUBAI: On an exceptiona­l lyrical night, on Friday evening, the two Lebanese stars, Ragheb Alama and Nancy Ajram, entertaine­d the visitors of Expo 2020 Dubai, who presented a selection of their most beautiful songs at Al Wasl Plaza Theatre, as part of the ‘Infinite Nights’ concerts. Al Wasl Square was filled with tens of thousands of loving fans.

Ragheb, the Arab superstar, brought the world together to celebrate 30 years of his music career and performed his biggest hits in an innovative and inspiring show.

Nancy performed her biggest hits in a new and never-before-seen performanc­e, under the majestic dome of Al Wasl Plaza. Her show connected fans across the world to celebrate a night of breath-taking entertainm­ent.

Ragheb Alama and Nancy Ajram each performed as part of the ‘Infinite Nights’ series live from the heart of Expo 2020, streaming to millions of fans around the world, with many options for them to experience it all.

The concert started in the presence of an unpreceden­ted lyrical compass by Ajram who, accompanie­d by her band, entered the stage singing “I do not live except with you”, over which the audience went crazy, and sang several of the songs without music.

Ater she finished the first song, she thanked the large audience which was waiting for her and expressed her feelings for the audience and the “live parties that we missed because of Corona.”

She returned to sing some of her most famous old and modern songs, including: “Salamat”, and other famous numbers, to which the audience swayed and interacted greatly.

Before Ajram concluded her lyrical link, she thanked all the atendees and the organisers of Expo Dubai 2020, and concluded with the first song with which she entered the theatre.

Alama’s band entered the stage and began preparing for the entry of the evening star, eagerly anticipate­d by thousands, and the audience clamoured for his rendition of a number of songs. In the middle of his songs, Alama thanked the audience of the concert and the Emirates.

Alama continued, “With this global event, the whole world sees what the Emirates did, which reached Mars. A thousand million salutes to the UAE leaders and people for all these achievemen­ts.”
