"The Fan/El Marwaha" taken from Tania Saleh's latest album "10 A.D."

As in other parts of the Arab world, women in Lebanon have minimal rights. Due to various taboo systems, control and expectations from the many groups in society, freedom of speech and belief, and the freedom to decide over one’s love life are unthinkable for women. Tania’s intention with her new album is to provide insight into how a divorced woman, as she herself is, tries to tackle life’s challenges in the middle of such a world. This is a song about a 50-year-old woman invited to a typically Lebanese party (with her hand fan).
