Omar and Rafi (Arabic: عمر ورافي) are a Lebanese-Iraqi boy band. They rose to stardom throughout the Middle East in the year 2000, when they renewed and recorded an old Iraqi song called "Hayra" in a style that was spread all over the Middle East. Omar and Rafi then signed for EMI Production that produced their work between 2001 and 2004. The outcome was two albums, "W Ana F Beirut" and "Gharamy". Most of Omar's and Rafi's songs are their own music, lyrics and arrangement, they have hardly collaborated with any songwriters and music makers.
