Egyptian super-star singer Amr Diab will perform his first Eid al-Fitr concert on April 10 in the city of el-Gouna, promising a collection of some of his most beloved tracks.
Diab released recently a new album titled “Makanak” (Your Place), three years after the release of his last album “Ya Ana Ya La” in December 2020.
“Makanak” features 12 tracks of various genres showcasing Diab’s artistic journey and distinctive sound.
Diab has built a multi-decade career that began with his musical debut in 1983. He is now known as one of the most famous pop stars of Egypt and the Middle East and has been nicknamed “al-Hadaba” (the Plateau) as a reference to his greatness.
The star is the first in the Arab world to produce high tech music videos, and in 1996, Diab released the album “Nour El Ain,” which was celebrated worldwide and helped to gain the pop star recognition beyond the Middle East.
In 2009, Diab won four African Music Awards for Song of the Year, Artist of the Year, Video of the Year, and Best Male Act. He won two additional African Music Awards in 2010.
He is also the only Middle Eastern artist to have received seven World Music Awards, and he set the Guinness Record for winning Best Selling Middle East Artist.
