Lebanese singer Nancy Ajram is scheduled to hold her first performance in Germany on 11 November at ‘Tempodrom Einlass,’ one of the largest concert halls in Berlin.

According to the London based Elaph, concert sponsor Mr. Hisham Khalil will donate a portion of the proceeds to a number of children’s charities in Lebanon and Palestine.

The Kuwaiti Information Ministry has refused to allow a number of female singers to perform in Kuwait during the Muslim holiday Eid El-Fitr. The ministry refused to grant permits to concert agents, prohibiting them from organizing events during the holiday.

Lebanese singers Nancy, Elissa, Diana Haddad and Amal Hijazi were among the singers planning to hold concerts. The decision taken by the ministry was attributed to the inappropriate style of their performances and provocative clothing, considered unsuitable for Kuwait, although the decision did not affect singers from the Gulf countries.
