Hany Shaker will perform on 31 October, followed by Tamer Ashour on 1 November.
Shaker is one of the best-known Egyptian singers. His career spans five decades, during which he released countless beloved songs, including Ally El-Dehkaya, Lessa Betesaly, and Yaritak Maaya.
He started his singing career at a time when some of Egypt’s musical legends were at their peak, including Um Kolthoum, Farid El-Atrash, Mohamed Abdel-Wahab, and most notably Abdel-Halim Hafez, who greatly influenced Shaker’s musical approach.
He has collaborated with iconic composers, like Yehia El-Mougi, Baligh Hamdi, Ammar El-Sherei, and Mounir Mourad. He has also appeared in a few movies, including 1966's Sayed Darwish, directed by Ahmed Badrakhan, playing the legendary musician during his younger years.
Shaker headed the Egyptian Musicians Syndicate for two terms, between 2015 and 2017 and between 2019 and 2022.
Shaker continues to perform extensively in Egypt and across Arab countries.
Ashour was born in 1984. His breakthrough as a singer came with the release of his debut single Zekrayat Kedaba (Lying Memories) in 2006, followed by his first album Saab (Difficult, 2007). He then released several other albums, including Had Byheb (2008), Laya Nazra (2011), Esht Maak (2014), Khayali (2017), Ayam (2019), and Tegy Netrahen (2022).
Ashour continues to tour across the Gulf countries. Over the past weeks, he gave concerts at Abadi Al-Johar Arena in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and Dubai's Coca-Cola Arena.
