Vocalist Gaida is known for her original and highly personal style marked by great emotional intensity. The "Syrian Nightingale" "evokes the emotional storminess of legendary singers like Warda and Om Kalthoum," but her remarkable abilities to improvise and expand on traditional Arabic maqams "suggest all new exotic possibilities." On her debut album Levantine Indulgence, Gaida exposes her innermost emotions using her powerful yet refined and expressive voice. Each song is at its core about love, longing and caring. In Gaida's own words, "I will always sing with tears close to my eyes, beats pounding my fragile heart, and care wrapping the world."
