The Drama Theatre will host the closing ceremony of the 23rd edition of the International Music Festival organized by the National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters, September 18th to 22nd. A concert honoring the late Egyptian composer and singer Mohamed Abdel Wahab dubbed “the musician of generations” will also be held as part of the ceremony. Egyptian singers Samah Seddik and Mohamed Shata will perform a compilation of Abdel Wahab melodies, accompanied by the musical ensemble under the direction of Dr. Mohamed Al-Mougui.
Mohamed Abdel Wahab is regarded as one of the most innovative Egyptian composers of all time, having laid the foundation for the new era of Arabic music by introducing novel rhythms and styles. During his long career, which began in 1917 and spanned over six decades, he composed hundreds of songs for himself and other leading Arab singers including Asmahan, Laila Murad, Fairouz, Wadie Al-Safi, Abdel-Halim Hafez, Warda, Shadia and many others. His collaboration with Umm Kulthum was delayed until 1964, when they presented the famous song “Enta Omri” (You Are My Life), which was followed by nine other songs.
