Other appearances In 1997, "Tarah D'Virokh" (You Closed The Door), a song from her 1983 album, was featured in the opening scene of "Furies" on the third season of Xena: Warrior Princess, where the Furies slowly dance to it for Ares in a ritual way. The song was remixed into having a worldbeat rhythm and the vocals were provided by singer Julie Yousif. The song still remains to be the only Assyrian-language music to be featured in a Hollywood soundtrack.
