Farasha Hanem New member May 18, 2012 #6 There's a song on one of my BDSS CD's called "Warda." Was this song named after her? I watched some of the vids of Warda that was posted while I was eating lunch at work this evening. I wish I had known about her before.

Safran New member May 18, 2012 #7 Farasha - I don't know about that particular song, but "Warsa" means "Rose" in Arabic, so it might not necessarily be her song/tribute to her. I love Warda's songs though... She has sung of my favourite tarab pieces!
