Who is Ragheb Alama?

Ragheb Subhi Alama is a Lebanese singer, composer, television personality, and philanthropist. Alama began his career in the 1980s when he appeared as a contestant on the talent show broadcast Studio El Fan, on which he received the Platinum Award.

Alama's fame came after Studio El Fan with the release of his debut single "Bukra Byebrom Dulabak" followed by yearly albums and number-one hit singles such as "Ya Rait", "'Aan Jad" and "Alby Asheq'ha" which was the first Arabic song in history to be made into a music video. Alama continued his success into the 2000s with the release of his chart-topping albums Saharony El Leil, Tab Leh, El Hob El Kebeer and Baa'sha'ak, the latter which earned the artist the Platinum certification from Virgin Megastores for its record sales. His most recent album Seneen Rayha saw the artist team with Starbucks for its release and sale, making him the first Arab artist to have his album sold at Starbucks. The Starbucks album Starz Vol. 1 also included a song featuring international pop artist Shakira. He adopted an environmental cause with the album after being named the United Nations Ambassador of Climate Change.
