Missing a fourth Cat

The Four Cats are down to three. The famous foursome managed by composer Ghassan Rehbani had been suffering from instability since the band was first formed. The band has changed at least 10 times before settling on the final four.

Some of the people who left the trio before include Nicole Saba, Chantal Qaisar and Maya Diab, but the last member to leave is none other than Raya, sister of the only remaining original 'Cat' Dalida Shemaii, Ghassan's wife. Raya is leaving the group to pursue her career as a solo singer, just like Nicole.

Her decision is backed by her relatives, who say the time has come for her to make it on her own. But only time will tell if the Four Cats have nine lives.

Beautiful reunion

The famous singer Mayada Al Hinawai finally returns with the production company that has produced some of her greatest songs in her musical career: Mazika.

The producer and owner of Alam Al Fan Muhsin Jaber said that the singer paid a visit to the partner production company Mazika where he was present to welcome her back to the company.

According to Al Bawaba, Muhsin was happy to welcome back the singer saying that no conflict can change the great relationship that bonds them. Mayada couldn't keep her tears at bay for the occasion and revealed that she felt she was "home again".

This reunion means that composer Mohammad Sultan will be able to compose again for the famous singer. He'll be working on new songs, Rijn a Libadina and Wahashtak Wa lissa for Mayada's album.

Finally Mayada will be back on stage not only with new songs but with an enchanting look. The singer has in fact lost a lot of weight. It took her two years of hard work, but now she looks really great. Good job, Mayada!
