Hoda Haddad was born shortly after the Lebanese independence (born August 15, 1944) to a modest family in the capital city of Lebanon, Beirut. Her parents were Wadih Haddad, a print worker, and Lisa Boustany, a housewife. She had two sisters Nouhad (known by her artistic name Fairuz), Amal, and a brother Joseph. Hoda comes from the Chouf district as her husband Chawki Ziade. She has two children: Dina and Joseph. Hoda Haddad joined her sister, the great artist Fairuz, in most of her artistic work, even though she only occasionally performs short roles. This did not prevent her from achieving a lot of glory and fame, which accompanies both Rahbani’s songs and participation in her huge successful works of films and plays.[2] The series is called “Yawm Yawm Liyum” (Day of the Year), the first part of 1972, and the second part of 1979. She sang with her sister Fairuz in the play “Mays Al-Reem”, “Lulu”, “Sahrat Hob” and “Petra” (Petra) in 1977.[3] There was also the play “Akher Ayyam Sikrat” by Mansour Rahbani in 1998, and finally “Opera al-Dayaa” in 2009. The lyrics were presented by the program in 1971. Riadh Sharara also presented the show “Sahour and Ghounieh”, in which she sang for the first time the song “Khalini Hobak”, with lyrics by Ziad al-Rahbani.
