DOHA: A concert marking the seventh anniversary of the Syrian revolution was held at Katara Drama Theatre on Tuesday evening. Titled “Syria, your love in my heart,” the concert hosted by the Cultural Village Foundation (Katara) was organised by the Syrian Embassy in Doha.  

Members of the Syrian community in Qatar and many other communities came to show solidarity with the Syrian people and their revolution.

Several famous Syrian singers and artistes performed at the concert such as Yahya Hawwa, Mohammed Makki and the famous Iraqi artist Mustafa Al Azzawi. They performed many traditional Syrian songs and some related to their revolution and struggle for the past seven years with a tremendous interaction by the audience.

At the outset of the concert, Syrian Ambassador Nizar Al Hiraki thanked Katara for hosting this important event which assures the message of peace and tolerance despite the pain of the Syrian people.

He also thanked the Qatari people and leadership for the constant and great support they provide for the Syrians and added that the concert was held not only to celebrate the anniversary of the revolution but also to keep the Syrian crisis present in the minds of everyone.
