Mansour Rahbani, a Lebanese composer, musician and producer, passed away today at the age of 83.
Rahbani was the brother of Assi Rahbani, who was married to Lebanese singer Fairuz, for whom the two men composed many poems and songs.
The pair, who became known as the Rahbani Brothers, also wrote several widely-acclaimed musicals including "Petra" and "Biyaa el Khawatem" (The Ring Seller), which was adapted on screen by Egyptian film director Youssef Chahine.
Following Assi Rahbani's death in 1986, Mansour composed several plays on his own, the latest of which, "The Return of the Phoenix", is currently playing in Lebanon.
May his soul rest in peace.
