This musical evening, hosted at the National Theatre on 17 April, celebrates the unforgettable compositions of Baligh Hamdi, an extraordinary talent in the world of Arabic music during the 20th century. Over his prolific career, spanning the 1950s to the early 1990s, Baligh Hamdi composed more than 3,000 songs for many of Egypt’s and the Arab world’s greatest singers. His contributions included 11 songs for Umm Kulthum, 30 for Abdel Halim Hafez, and a similar number for Warda, with whom he shared a profound love story that culminated in marriage. Their collaboration produced some of the most iconic romantic songs that continue to resonate with audiences today.
Baligh Hamdi also discovered young talents like Afaf Radi and Mayada El-Hennawi, who rose to fame performing his remarkable compositions. Despite countless musical evenings dedicated to his work, they are never enough to fully explore the magical world of melodies he created or to enjoy his rich legacy as a musical genius of the 20th century.
In this concert, we present a new selection of the King of Music masterpieces, brought to life by the extraordinary voice of Reham Abdel-Hakim and the rising Kuwaiti singer Khalaf Al-Mashouf, accompanied by the musical ensemble conducted by Dr Alaa Abdel-Salam.
