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.
