Julia Boutros
Julia Boutros (Arabic: جوليا بطرس, romanized: Jūliyā Buṭrus; born April 1, 1968) is a Lebanese singer, musician, and humanitarian activist.
Over a career spanning more than four decades, she has released numerous critically acclaimed albums and singles that blend traditional Middle Eastern melodies and quarter notes with modern pop and pop rock. Known for her patriotic and resistance-themed songs, she is popularly known as "The Lioness of Lebanon" for her vocal support of Lebanese and Palestinian causes through her music.
Boutros was born in Beirut on April 1, 1968, into a Maronite Christian family. Her father hails from the coastal city of Tyre in South Lebanon, while her mother is of Palestinian descent with an Armenian background. She attended Rosary Sisters Schools, where she sang in the school choir. Her early exposure to music was heavily influenced by her brother Ziad Boutros and the works of Lebanese composer Ziad Rahbani.
Boutros began her musical journey at the age of 12 when she recorded her first song, "À Maman," at Elias Rahbani's studio. She followed this with two other French-language songs, "C'est la vie" and "Viens dans ma vie." Her career took off in the 1980s with Arabic-language hits such as "Ghabet Shams El Haq" ("The Sun of Justice Has Gone") and "Wein el Malayeen" ("Where Are the Millions").
In October 2006, she released the single "Ahibaii" ("Dearly Beloved"), inspired by a letter written by Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah to fighters during the 2006 Lebanon War. The song was composed by her brother Ziad and arranged by Michel Fadel.
In December 2023, during the Gaza war, she released a song titled "Yamma Mwel Lhawa" ("O Mother, What's with the Wind?") in solidarity with Palestinians.
Boutros is known for blending traditional Arabic melodies and quarter notes with modern pop and rock. Her work often incorporates themes of resistance, patriotism, and social justice. She cites Ziad Rahbani as a major influence on her artistic vision.
Boutros is married to former Lebanese Defense Minister and current Deputy Speaker of Parliament Elias Bou Saab, with whom she has two sons.
