Thawra, Ebaa Monther & Noise Diva Call Out Media Bias on ‘3antar'
The holy trinity presents a compelling satire on the media's censorship and ignorance of the war in Syria. Jun 03, 2025 Syrian trailblazing rappers Thawra and Ebaa Monther join forces on a collaborative single, titled '3antar', a subversive socio-political observation of the media echo chamber, specifically criticising its handling of the war in Syria. The track's production is helmed by Amsterdam-based Syrian DJ and sound designer Noise Diva, who crafts a dark, hypnotic blend of trap and raw noise textures bubbling with tension and low intensity, subtly accented by Middle Eastern percussion here and there. On the track, Thawra and Ebaa fire back against censorship, exchanging sharp satirical verses packed with double entendres, through which both rappers paint a vivid imagery of an arrogant, passive male figure called '3antar', deliberately choosing to ignore the ugly reality of systemic destruction and ethnic cleansing.

A Step In the Right Direction: Egyptians to Face Fine for Returning a Sponsored Child to a Foster Home
News of a new policy introduced by the Ministry of Social Solidarity, which imposes a 20,000 EGP fine on any family that decides to return a sponsored child to a state-run foster home, is going viral. This announcement comes following the release of one of Ramadan's most talked-about shows, Welad El Shams, prompting many to draw a direct link between the drama's storyline and the timing of this policy. The goal is clearly to ensure that the decision to sponsor a child under the kafala system is not taken lightly but rather treated with deep seriousness and long-term commitment from the foster families. However, public opinion has been divided, with some questioning the impact of enforcing such policy. Could the fear of a fine force foster families to keep children they're not emotionally invested in, leaving those children to suffer in environments lacking love and genuine care? So, what do you think about this new policy? Will it truly make a difference, or does it need to be complemented with stronger first-stage assessments, ensuring that only families who are psychologically and emotionally prepared for fostering are allowed to take that step?

New West End Musical Revives Asmahan's Story on London Stage
Set in 1940s Cairo, 'Asmahan' aims to introduce the legendary singer's untold story to international audiences. Jun 02, 2025 A new musical celebrating the life of Arab music icon Asmahan is set to premiere in London's West End. The production, titled 'Asmahan', will be staged at the Peacock Theatre on June 16th and the 17th, 2025, and aims to introduce the legendary singer's untold story to international audiences. Set in 1940s Cairo, the musical is structured in two acts: the first unfolds during a backstage interview at the Opera House, while the second recreates a live concert. The show explores the personal and professional complexities of Asmahan's life, tracing her rise to stardom and the cultural significance she held in the Arab world. Themes of identity, fame, and artistry are central to the narrative, as the production seeks to capture the spirit of a figure who challenged expectations during a transformative period in Arab music history. The cast includes Syrian-Armenian soprano Lena Chamamyan in the titular role, with Egyptian jazz vocalist Ahmed Harfoush portraying her brother, the celebrated composer Farid Al Atrash. Live renditions of Asmahan's songs form the heart of the performance, accompanied by choreography and projections that evoke the atmosphere of mid-century Cairo. Produced by AM Management and Productions and Beyond, the musical combines Arabic musical heritage with Western theatrical sensibilities to create a cross-cultural experience that reflects Asmahan's own multifaceted identity. Tickets for the musical start at GBP 28, with both performances scheduled for 8:00 PM.
