Assala Nasri plans return to Syria after nearly 15 years Mazen Al-Natour: Syndicate exerts intensive efforts to coordinate the return

Syrian singer Assala Nasri is preparing to return to Syria before the end of March, after an absence of nearly 15 years, in an event eagerly awaited by her fans inside and outside the country, amid preparations for a major artistic celebration highlighting the importance of her return.

The head of the Syrian Artists Syndicate, Mazen Al-Natour, confirmed that the syndicate is making intensive efforts to coordinate this return, noting Assala’s position as one of the most prominent icons of Syrian art. He told Syrian TV Channel 2 that all arrangements are underway at various levels to ensure her participation in the Revolution Celebration scheduled for March 18, in a manner befitting public expectations.

Her brother, musician Anas Nasri, visited Syria last year to meet representatives of the Artists Syndicate to coordinate the anticipated visit, after a previously planned date before the end of last year was postponed without a final date. In earlier statements, Assala expressed great hope to return soon, affirming she feels no fear regarding the visit.

Preparations for a new music album On the artistic front, Assala revealed preparations for a new album in the Syrian dialect, describing it as one of the largest projects of her career.

The album includes 14 songs, each dedicated to a different Syrian province, incorporating traditional costumes that reflect the cultural identity of each region, in a documentary-style artistic project combining music and visual aesthetics.

Assala noted that the work took a long time to ensure every detail was perfect, adding that the album might be her last in the Syrian dialect, though she may repeat the experience in the future. The album is expected to be released between Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. She also performed the theme song for the series "Qaysar. Lazman La Makan", written and composed by Hassan Zyoud and arranged by Nasser Al-Asaad, which addresses the pain of Syrian families still waiting to know the fate of their children.
