Radio Cairo

In 1934, Cairo saw the inauguration of the first official Arab government radio station, which broadcast its signals across the entire region. Over the years, a deep connection developed with the captivating melodies of renowned singers, transmitted via the frequencies of Radio Cairo. From legendary singers like Umm Kulthumm, Mohamed Abdel Wahab, Asmahan, Laila Murad, Farid Al-Atrash, and Abdel Halim Hafez to beloved artists such as Shadia, Fayza Ahmed, Warda, and numerous others, their melodies imprinted themselves upon our hearts.

This concert revisited a repertoire of enchanting songs that once adorned the airwaves of Egyptian radio. The timeless melodies were presented by the choir and the musical ensemble under the direction of Kuwaiti conductor Dr. Khaled Noori, who skillfully rearranged the tunes to align with modern tastes.
