Nawal El Kuwaitia (Arabic: نوال الكويتية; born Nawal Thaher Al-Zaid, 18 November 1966) is a Kuwaiti singer and actress.
Career
Nawal studied at the Music Institute in Kuwait.[1] Nawal's first album was released in 1984.[2] The majority of her albums are not titled, but rather are referred to by number (e.g. Nawal 98, Nawal 99).[citation needed] She has also filmed many music videos (mainly in Lebanon)[3] and was one of the first Khaliji artists to do so.[citation needed] After retiring from her singing career for personal reasons, Nawal returned after five years [when?] with a duet performed with Abdullah Rashad, "Kan Widdi Niltiki" ("I Wished We Could Have Met").[citation needed] In 2022, she joined Spotify's EQUAL Arabia as it's ambassador for the month of July.[2][4] In December 2024 it was reported that her citizenship has been revoked by Kuwait government.[5]
