It is performed by a Montreal-born singer called Ms. Nicole Arrage (with pianist, Mr. Guillaume Dion). The song is by Mr. Joseph Attieh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What a beautiful tribute to Beirut&#8230; all the way from Canada. Bravo and thank you!<\/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=\"Sallou La Beirut - Joseph Attieh, Nicole Arrage feat.
