‘Powerpuff Girl’ Ajram coming to Yas Island
Pop star Nancy Ajram will perform at du Forum on Yas Island on December 2.
Ajram, one the bestselling female artists in Lebanon, is best known for tracks such as Akhasmak Ah and Ah W Nos. In Abu Dhabi, she will perform a selection from her seven albums.
The concert comes on the heels of other big news for the 34-year-old star: she’s collaborating with Cartoon Network on the five-part series The Powerpuff Girls: Power of Four, dubbed in Arabic.
Ajram voices Bliss, a long-lost teenaged sister of the other three Powerpuff Girls, in the show.
It marks the first time that a celebrity has voiced a Cartoon Network character in the Middle East. Ajram said it enabled her “to re-live some of my happy childhood memories in the process. I felt that I was very much in the heart of the action, helping The Powerpuff Girls save the world.” The series aired yesterday. Tickets to see Ajram at du Forum on December 2 range from Dh250 to Dh1,450, and are available online. Doors open at 8pm. Show starts at 9pm. Entrants must be over the age of five.
