The video went viral, showing Mena sitting amid the band singing along to the song as he clapped and danced.
The festival's management organized a special meeting for Mena with the actress Amina Khalil, in which he talked about Egyptian cinema and his hopes for it to compete in the largest cinematic awards like the Oscars.
