Sherine to Conclude 20th Mawazine Festival
Yara Sameh Egyptian superstar, Sherine Abdel-Wahab will conclude this year's Mawazine Festival. Mawazine is a Moroccan international music festival that began in 2001 and is hosting its 20th edition this year. As one of the largest music festivals in the world, Mawazine attracts more than 2.5 million attendees each year. This year's Mawazine festival is scheduled to be held from June 20 to 28 in Rabat, Morocco. Sherine is set to perform at the festival's stage, Nahda, on June 28. She is set to present several of her popular and latest songs. Born on October 8, 1980, Sherine Sayed Mohamed Abdel Wahab, known professionally as simply Sherine, is a singer, actress and music judge. She was first discovered as a child by her school music teacher, who convinced her mother to take her to the Cairo Opera House to meet veteran musician Selim Sahab. Abdel-Wahab served as a choral member at the Cairo Opera House from the age of nine to twelve and was then given a chance to become a solo singer. She kept performing at the Cairo Opera House while searching for a music producer to launch her music career. At the age of 18, Abdel-Wahab was introduced to director and music producer Nasr Mahrous, who liked her voice and decided to collaborate with her via his 'Free Music' production company, where she met with superstar, Tamer Hosny, who was also a new talent-seeking opportunity. Her first recorded song was released in 2002 as a part of an album that included works of other artists. The album was released, under the title 'Free Mix3: Tamer and Sherine' and was a big hit all across the entire Middle East and North Africa. It sold more than 20 Million copies across the whole MENA, particularly because of her single 'Ah ya Leil', which boosted her fame. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan

Egyptian mezzo-soprano Farrah El-Dibany serenades Dalida's song alongside French President Emmanuel Macron
A night to remember, Farrah El-Dibany serenades one of Dalida's songs, joined by President Macron, music, elegance, and a touch of French charm. Acclaimed Egyptian mezzo-soprano Farrah El Dibany celebrates a moment of pride as she accompanies French President Emmanuel Macron on his historic visit to Egypt. She said: 'Honored to be once again part of the official French delegation for this historic journey to Egypt, traveling alongside President Emmanuel Macron. Deeply grateful to contribute to the strengthening of the bond between our two nations, united as strategic allies.' In 2022, El-Dibany sang La Marseillaise, the French national anthem, as large crowds celebrated the re-election of Emmanuel Macron at the Champ-de-Mars. Egyptian mezzo-soprano Farrah El Dibany sang the French national anthem in the World Cup grand finale. Dibany performed at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. Dibany participated in the Beirut Chants Festival on December 14, 2021. On June 24, 2021, Cairo Opera House organized in cooperation with the French Cultural Center, a concert for El Dibany which was held under the title 'Mediterranean Journey' accompanied by the orchestra 'les cordes croisées', which included a group of Egyptian and French musicians. The concert's program included unique selections from the most famous Arab lyrical works by great singers, including Asmahan, Fairouz, and Dalida, in addition to excerpts from the most famous French and Spanish operas, which were redistributed by musician Ahmed el-Mogy and directed by musician Mostafa Fahmy. El Dibany participated in Global Hope Festival's initiative by performing a live concert on her official Instagram account on April 8, 2020. Global Hope Festival's initiative was tailor-made to donate to the Solidarity Response Fund of the World Health Organisation. El Dibany received the Hassan Kamy Award from the Manial Palace Festival in November 2019. She was the first ever to receive this award. She took it after giving a recital with Egyptian pianist Seif Mohie at the festival. "Truly honored to be the first ever to receive the Hassan Kamy award after giving a recital with Egyptian pianist Seif Mohie at the Manial Palace Festival, and even happier to have been handed the award by Prince Abbas Helmy and internationally acclaimed Egyptian pianist Ramzi Yassa. "Thanks to the Festival for putting this great festival together," Dibany previously wrote on her official Instagram account. Dibany is the first Egyptian to win the Prix Lyrique de l'AROP, the best opera singer award from the Paris Opera House, according to Opera de Paris. This important annual international award is dedicated to uprising opera singers and is granted to one female and one male soprano. She sang a song from 'Carmen' by Bizet at the awards ceremony in the presence of Egyptian and French officials. Dibany joined the Paris Opera House in 2016. She is the first Egyptian resident of the Paris Opera House. In 2017, Dibany performed alongside Opera singer Jean-Francois Marras in a concert to celebrate a partnership between the National Paris Opera House and Huawei. She went to different classical institutions to represent the venue, including the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow, the Biennale dell'Arte at the French Pavilion in Venice, the Cairo Opera House, and the Alexandria Opera House. Also, she was awarded the Wagner Prize for excellence in opera. On her official Facebook page, Dibany said she feels honored to appear in a trailer that celebrates her partnership with the National Paris Opera House. The trailer was directed by a team led by Audrey Mascina. Her mezzo-soprano performance in "Carmen" in 2015 got her the 'Best Upcoming Young Opera Singer' title, based on a survey generated by the 'Opernwelt' magazine yearbook.
