Furat is the Arabic name of the river Euphrates in Mesopotamia, which flows through Syria and Iraq, among other places, and is also an Arabic female name. The singer and former architect Basma Jabr emigrated from Syria in 2015 and lives in Vienna. With her program “Furat” she sheds light on an exciting time in Arabic music from 1920 to 1960. Songs that were sung by women at that time inspired her to revive the strong female voices of the Arab world in a modern sound.
