Mohamed Mounir, Tamer Hosny first ever collaboration trends big on YouTube - Music - Arts & Culture
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.

Ragheb Alama banned from performing in Egypt after concert kiss
The Musicians Syndicate in Egypt issued a statement announcing the suspension of artist Ragheb Alama from performing in Egypt and his summons for investigation following his recent behavior during one of his concerts at the North Coast. The head of the Musicians Syndicate, Mostafa Kamel, said in a statement: 'For two days, I have been following shameful behavior that violates all Egyptian customs, traditions, and societal values. We have never been accustomed to this in our country before, and we will not allow it to be repeated. Egypt's stages have been graced by some of the greatest artists in Egypt and the Arab world, both artistically and in value. They have never been, and never will be, a breeding ground for kisses, undisciplined gestures, and disgusting hugs.' He added: 'With my sincere respect and appreciation to Mr. Farid Bou Said, the head of the Musicians Syndicate in our sister country, Lebanon, and to all our brothers and sisters in the beloved Lebanese people, we have decided the following': Summon Alama to the headquarters of the Musicians Syndicate in Egypt for investigation into his deliberate violation of Egyptian norms, customs, and traditions. We will also suspend his work permit in Egypt pending his appearance for investigation at the Syndicate's headquarters. Contact the officials of the Chamber of Tourism Establishments to meet with them or their representatives to make our joint decision to summon the owner of the tourist establishment that hosted this concert, which represents a clear and deliberate violation of all Egyptian values, norms, customs, and traditions. Alama commented on the decision to suspend him over what happened during his recent concert, after a video surfaced showing a fan kissing him on stage. The singer said in a phone call with Al-Nahar TV: 'I was talking to my friend, artist Mostafa Kamel, the head of the Musicians Syndicate, and I explained the situation to him. What happened was that the girl grabbed me in her joy as I was coming off the stage and kissed me. The kiss wasn't on my mouth. I swear to God, that didn't happen.' He affirmed his complete respect for the Egyptian audience and people, adding, 'I hold the organizers responsible because people were going to the theater. I respect the audience and I am well aware that tourism in Egypt is a great responsibility.' 'I contacted the head of the syndicate and I respect the syndicate's decision and place myself at its disposal. God willing, I will visit the syndicate next week.'
