Aline Khalaf

Aline Khalaf (Arabic: إلين خلف‎) (born 12 April 1974) is a Lebanese singer.^[1]

Career

Aline Khalaf first rose to fame when she took part in the program for amateur singers, "Layali Lebnan", and won the Global Medal. This prize gave her a steady push into the world of show business. She began to perform in large restaurants with other stars.

She then signed with production company Relax-in-Company and produced her first album, Besat El Rih. Khalaf then released a second albumKhayfa Menak. When Ya Zein was released, Khalaf was quite famous already and had become known in the Arab world. Wayed Wayed followed soon after and was a commercial success like her previous albums. However, it was her hit album La Ley Lah that made the strongest impact at the time. The main song was so popular that Khalaf decided to shoot a popular music video.

Her next album Azz Alaya was released later and followed by Law Andak Kalam. Khalaf's most recent album, Sodfa, was released on the summer of 2005. Two songs from the album, "Sodfa" and "Meni leek" were made into music videos. Throughout her career, Khalaf has shot a number of her songs as music videos. Among these are "Wayed Wayed", "La Ley Lah", "Dala'a El-Habayeb", "Azz Alaya", "Law Andak Kalam", "Aloulak Eh" and "Ba3dak 3al Bal".

After the 2006 July War, Khalaf performed the song "Al Watan" ("The Homeland") in support of Lebanon.

In 2013, she released the single "La La Mesh Harjaelak" and participated in Lebanese Dancing with the Stars,^[2] being eliminated seventh.
