Bambi spent some time this evening reading about the worrisome\/sad news of Lebanon. For a change, she started searching the net for songs that she can dedicate to her birth country, which is going through its worst crisis ever and for which her heart is broken…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is unbelievable the number of patriotic songs we can find for Lebanon in Arabic for sure, in French (to a great extent), and in English or even in mixed languages. Yes, one thing is clear: This tiny country is loved by so many artists, Lebanese and international!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of these artists is called Ycare. Bambi just discovered his talent! He is a French singer, born in Dakkar (Senegal) to Lebanese parents (https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ycare<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His song, entitled “The Cedars<\/em>“, opened the Games of the “Francophonie<\/em>” [“Les Jeux de la Francophonie<\/em>“] in 2013 in Nice (France). The French lyrics, likely written by him, appear further below… What a moving song. Bravo et merci!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
