Mohamed Mounir.. Malamehna
Mohamed Mounir's latest song "Malamehna" came to delight us as usual with his songs that touch the soul and heart.
After an artistic silence that lasted more than a year, the king Mohamed Mounir returns with his new song, "Malamehna."
He says, "Every time we photograph our features... we aren't always who we are. Sometimes we appear calmer in the picture... and sometimes we appear alone in the gathering. Every time we bak-pats ourselves… we are slaughtered by memories. Every time we gather our wounds… our hearts ache."
What distinguishes Mounir is that he doesn't just present songs, but rather creates entire worlds of emotions. In "Malamehna," we hear that magical blend of authenticity and modernity that we've always longed for. The melody bears the imprint of ancient Nubia, while the lyrics touch upon the space shared by all Egyptians and Arabs—the space of memories, identity, and belonging.
Mounir is a son of great Nubia, the brown land that gave birth to an ancient civilization with roots dating back thousands of years. Nubia is not just a place, but a civilization and a human heritage, the land of Pharaonic temples, towering mountains, and the Nile River. This great cultural heritage is reflected in Mounir's voice, where in his tones you hear the echo of ancestors' hymns, and in his melodies you sense the antiquity and radiance of the land.
The beautiful thing about Mounir is that, despite his global fame, he has always remained a simple, knows exactly how to speak to people using the language of the heart. In "Malamehna," we find that rare balance between artistic depth, simplicity, and authenticity, modernity. The song is like a reassuring message to his listeners: "No matter how times change, there will always be true art that speaks to the soul."
Mohamed Mounir has a long and varied artistic history, "El Leila Ya Samra", "Shajar El-Lemon" "Younes", ",Hadota Masreya" "Fi Eshk El Banat"... Over the course of decades, he has shaped our artistic and emotional features. It's strange that I haven't seen him honored, even though the whole world has honored him in Germany, America, and elsewhere. But I hope that he would be honored, and that musical festivals will celebrate him, or that we will name a music hall after him, or that his house in Nubia will be turned into a museum.
Mohamed Mounir shaped a new generation emotionally, and this return is an occasion to celebrate and honor an artist who has been sowing joy in our hearts for years. Mounir, who sang about love, homeland, and life, returns today to remind us that true beauty never fades, and that some voices remain immortal because they are simply a part of us.
Welcome back, the King, and all appreciation to that voice that has become a feature of our character.

Mohamed Mounir, Tamer Hosny first ever collaboration trends big on YouTube - Music - Arts & Culture
Released on 15 July, the new music video El-Zou' El-Aali, which brings together Mohamed Mounir and Tamer Hosny, reached #1 on 'Charts for Trending music' and almost 6 million views on YouTube. The success comes shortly before Hosny's appearance at the New Alamein Festival. The duet between The King and The Star of the Generation - as both are often referred to - marks their first-ever collaboration. It is part of Tamer Hosny's album Leena Maad (We Have a Date). Composed by Mohamed Raheem to lyrics by Tamer Hussien, the song blends two generations of Egyptian music—Mounir's deep traditional voice and Hosny's modern pop sensibility. The song extols elegance and beauty, describing the muse's high taste and charm that lifts spirits and evokes springtime imagery. Commenting to the media about his new album, Hosny described working with Mounir as a monumental artistic honour and a career milestone. The King Born on 10 October 1954, in Manshiyat Nubia, a village in Aswan, southern Egypt, Mohamed Mounir's music and distinctive voice have captivated millions across the Arab world for decades. Mounir has become one of Egypt's most iconic singers, known for blending Nubian roots with modern genres, like pop and jazz. As his popularity grew significantly, Mounir quickly became beloved by many fans. Mounir's musical repertoire comprises 20 albums and numerous singles, each showcasing his ability to blend Nubian sounds with contemporary music. His lyrics often tackle themes of love, freedom, retrospection, and social justice, resonating with audiences across generations. Tamer Hosny's collaborations Creative collaborations are among the highlights of the 47-year-old singer and songwriter. Hosny came to the limelight in early 2002 through his mixtape collaborations with Egyptian star Sherine. Since then, Hosny has become one of the most prominent pop stars in Egypt and the wider Arab world, releasing over 13 top-selling albums. His music has been featured in several television series and is performed extensively across the region. Hosny has collaborated with international artists, including Snoop Dogg and Shaggy. He also collaborated with Arab musicians, such as Rim Banna, Latifa, Souad Massi, and Ramy Sabry. Besides Mohamed Mounir, the Leena Maad album also includes other collaborations with artists such as Karim Osama, El-Waili, Reda El-Bahrawy, and Ahmed Bahr Kozbara. 3rd New Alamein Festival The new album comes shortly before Hosny's appearance at the star-studded New Alamein Festival, scheduled on Friday, 25 July. The upcoming performance will mark Hosny's third consecutive appearance at the festival's three editions. The festival launched on Friday, 18 July, with a concert by Angham and will continue until 29 August. The festival's stellar lineup of top artists from Egypt and the Arab world will also feature Amr Diab, Tamer Ashour, Marwan Pablo, Lege-Cy, Wegz, Cairokee, among many others. New Alamein is one of Egypt's fastest-growing tourist cities, thanks to its strategic location on the Mediterranean coast and its massive urban development in recent years. The previous edition of the festival aimed to draw 2 million visitors and tourists. It was praised for its diverse mix of musical, cultural, and sports events.
