New Day Will Rise, which was inspired by the ordeal.
Raphael was one of just 11 survivors from a group of around 50 people who
took refuge in a concrete bomb shelter during the attack, using dead bodies as
a shield for eight hours until she was rescued.
Meanwhile introducing her Norton said: "She only began singing professionally in 2023, and you can see why; she has an extraordinary voice, and it's a big, powerful ballad. Also, very nicely staged."
no mention of her ordeal or what inspired her -
