Re: Remembering Fayza Ahmed
Fri, February 23, 2007 - 8:31 AMI hadn't heard of Fayza Ahmed until I watched the movie Tamra Henna. I really liked her from what I saw in that movie, both as an actress and as a singer. She had a lot of on-screen charisma, and her voice was very expressive.
For anyone reading this who is not familiar with her singing, I have extracted one of the songs from the DVD of Tamra Henna and posted it on my web site. You can find the MP3 file at this link, which contains translation of its lyrics: www.shira.net/lyrics/ya-tamrahenna.htm
