Egyptian singer Ehab Tawfiq recently held a spectacular performance at the Carthage Music Festival in Tunisia in front an audience of 15 thousand. The singer held his concert in a stadium that normally fits up to 12 thousands people, but due to the large popularity of the singer, people crowded in the stadium not wanting to miss out on the big event.
According to the London based daily, Al Sharq Al Awsat, Ehab's concert was sold out two days before its scheduled date, and the organizers of the festival were forced to open the doors of the stadium 3 hours prior to the concert in order to allow the large crowd to enter. The singer performed a number of his new and old songs for a period of 2 hours and a half in front of fans who sang, danced and clapped throughout the event, which led the singer's tears to begin falling unable to overcome the joy of being so loved by all the people present.
Ehab is also scheduled to hold several concerts in different cities around Tunisia, after which he will travel to Lebanon to finalize his upcoming album. The singer also revealed that he will hold performances throughout Lebanon, and is hopeful to find the same kind of enthusiasm he received in Tunisia.
Tawfiq had been spending over 16 hours everyday in recording studios preparing for his upcoming album. The singer had decided to leave the studio for as little time as possible in order to complete recording all the songs and have his album ready for release this summer.
The singer worked with a number of prominent poets and writers for the new album. Ehab recently completed the selection of songs for his album, under the production of High Quality Music Company. It was revealed that Ehab is currently holding negotiations with a new production company but refused to give out any further details until a deal is struck. –Albawaba.com
