Bambi was in Beirut at this time for her last trip there before the pandemic. She recalls having watched Ms. Hiba Tawaji&#8217; concert live on TV, with her mom and dad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time, Lebanon was already sinking into misery following the financial crash of the Ponzi scheme of its banking sector. This has resulted in a revolution (or revolt of the people) on December 17, 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyhow, without much blahblahblah from Bambi, here are three songs from this concert, hoping you will enjoy them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To conclude this brief post, Bambi is thinking of her parents now as well as two dear friends, Jacinthe and Alexis, if they happen to be reading. Jacinthe, you will recognize <em>&#8220;Laylat Id&#8221; <\/em>(or <em>Jingle Bells<\/em> in Arabic). Bambi has fond memories of you singing it in Arabic :). As for you Alexis, you are right, Bambi is in the mood and ready for Christmas :)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Hiba Tawaji - Jingle Bells (LIVE 2018) \/ \u0647\u0628\u0647 \u0637\u0648\u062c\u064a - \u0644\u064a\u0644\u0629 \u0639\u064a\u062f\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YkvGnV7Kyro?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Hiba Tawaji - Rapapampam - The Little Drummer Boy (LIVE 2018) \/ \u0647\u0628\u0647 \u0637\u0648\u062c\u064a - \u0634\u0648 \u0641\u064a \u0623\u0637\u0641\u0627\u0644 \u0639\u0645 \u062a\u0628\u0643\u064a\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EimJG3jd3C0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Hiba Tawaji - O Come All Ye Faithful (Adeste Fideles) (LIVE 2018) \/ \u0647\u0628\u0647 \u0637\u0648\u062c\u064a - \u064a\u0627 \u0645\u0644\u0643 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0644\u0648\u0643\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rbLs3PbFSxY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/heart-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16043\" width=\"112\" height=\"112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/heart-9.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/heart-9-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 112px) 85vw, 112px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bambi cannot go to bed without sharing the talented voice of Ms. Hiba Tawaji singing for Christmas!
