IT’S VROOM VROOM TIME

Four Arab superstars lit up Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) last night with remarkable performances, following the practice rounds of the 2015 Formula One Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix.

Thousands flocked to the circuit to see their favourite stars performing. A line up of leading Arab singers was waiting for them.

Starting the show was rising Lebanese star Amer Zayan, who fired up the stage with traditional Lebanese Dabka music and dances, that he said, was a “special dedication to the people of Bahrain.”

Iraqi Composer and Artist Waleed Al Shami followed Zayan with an amazing set of his latest hits that received wide interaction from the crowds.

After Al Shami completed his performance, ageless Lebanese songbird and multi-award winner Najwa Karam took the stage on fire with her stupendous performance.

The first day’s entertainment shows were concluded by an astonishing performance by Gulf Superstar, Kuwaiti Abdullah Ruwaished, who presented a variety of his new and classic songs.
