Some of her earliest recollections are rooted in her family home in Lebanon, where her late father’s love of music shaped the soundtrack of her childhood.
“He had a beautiful voice, so he used to sing a lot at home,” she recalled, adding that he made her and her sisters listen to Arab icons like Fairuz, Asmahan, Umm Kulthum and Mohammed Abdel Wahab. “These are my first memories.”
Waked’s sound today blends Arabic melodies with improvisation and international textures, resonating across borders. (Supplied)
