BEIRUT, Lebanon — The beloved Lebanese singer Fairouz went to Damascus yesterday to perform for the first time in almost three decades, angering some of her country’s top anti-Syrian politicians who accused her of entertaining tyrants. The 73-year-old singer’s patriotic songs are enormously popular across the Arab world and she is a Lebanese icon. Almost three decades after her last performance in Syria, Fairouz traveled to Damascus yesterday despite appeals by Lebanese political leaders to stay away.
