Asala Nasri’s return to Damascus after 15 years and her concert have drawn attention to the cultural and social path of the new Syria, beyond an artistic event.
The new Syrian government speaks of Islamic values while simultaneously trying to expand its relations with the United States and European countries, a path that, from the perspective of some observers, may bring Syria closer to Western cultural and political models.
Holding an original concert with the presence of the Minister of Culture could also be a sign of a different cultural atmosphere in the new Syria. However, the important question is how will a balance be established between the Islamic slogans of the government, cultural and social freedoms, and the models supported by the West?
Syria needs stability and reconstruction after years of war, but preserving the Islamic and cultural identity of the society is also important.
