An Angelic Voice from the Mountains of Lebanon

Music can speak to us more deeply than words, and at its purist the human voice can be touched with the divine.

These thoughts came to me recently when I unexpectedly stumbled on a melodic talent that comes straight from the mountains of Lebanon. It takes the form of a beautiful lady who has stunning long hair, but whose voice, as shown in her repertoire of song, possesses a rare resonance and a devastating effect in its evocation of love and sensuality in the refined area of the poetic dimension.

Her name is Lydia Canaan. Her mountainous provenance has nurtured her talent in unique ways, giving her a natural quality that captivates and enthrals in equal measure. She sings proficiently in English, as well as in Arabic, her native tongue.

This diversity of language and culture leaves her musical dexterity beyond all doubt. She is a talent to follow and cherish in a world where individual creativity is so often ignored, crushed and lost in the mêlée of the media obsession with the celebrity cult. Lydia Canaan has too much to give for her gifts to be stifled by these banal forces.

Consequently, let lovers of musical art everywhere take heed and, as I have done, seek out Lydia and hear her voice in its subtle beauty. Then they, too, can spread the word that there is an angel with a heavenly voice waiting in the wings to give inner meaning to their lives, capable of transporting them into those exalted regions where love expressed in music reigns supreme.

Take it from me. I  should know. I have been there.
