As an Egyptian millennial, my feelings towards Amr Diab sparked from the very start. My feelings flourished when he sang “Tamally Ma3ak,” and when the “3awwedoony” music video was first aired, that was it – I fell in love with the hadaba.
But as we all know, he knows how to keep us waiting when it comes to his new releases. So naturally other stars from other nationalities stole my heart *cough* Adam Levine, Calvin Harris and kefaya keda 3ashan mosh 3ayzeen fadaye7 *cough* but on his black stallion, trotting in slow motion at Marassi’s crystal shore on Friday the 19th, Amr Diab rescued me from my musical fling with his new album “A7la w A7la” as he celebrated it in Vodafone’s “Red Concert,” attended by a rainbow of influencers such as Ahmed Hossam, Norhan Abu Bakr, Marwa Hassan and Emma Abdelaziz, and of course the mobile giants, Huawei.
As the main sponsor, Huawei had a booth at the concert where the audience would be able to take a picture with the P9 and get the picture printed to keep. I KNOW RIGHT? Moreover, they had a competition asking the audience to take pictures using #P9Moments to win the new Huawei P9 Dual Leica Camera. We died of envy when we saw the winners pick up their new devices after the concert.
