Since its early days, Egyptian cinema has been closely intertwined with musical films, as prominent singers of the time often starred in them, using cinema as an additional platform to promote their songs. Icons such as Umm Kulthum, Mohamed Abdel Wahab, Sabah, Farid Al-Atrash, Mohamed Fawzi and others created popular films and timeless songs for nearly three decades. By the late 1960s, songs began to fade from films, only to reemerge later—this time not through actors or renowned singers, but more closely tied to the film’s dramatic context.
The "Sound of Cinema" concert, taking place at the National Theatre in December, invites audiences on a magical journey through 100 years of Egyptian cinema. It showcases timeless songs by legends including Umm Kulthum, Mohamed Abdel Wahab, Abdel Halim Hafez, Warda, and Shadia, alongside modern hits by pop stars like Sherine Abdel Wahab and Hussain Al Jassmi. These popular songs will be brought to life by Marwa Nagy, Nidaa Sharara, and Khalaf Al-Mashaouf, accompanied by the musical ensemble under the direction of conductor Dr Ihab Abdel Hamid.
