Thousands turned out last night for a free concert featuring singing sensations Hala Al Turk, Hamad Buqais and Mohammed Qambar, at the Seef Mall in Bahrain.

The second free event was part of the Celebrate My Country concerts organised by Al Turk Productions and White Box Events in co-ordination with Seef Properties.

The first concert in the same venue was held by singers Dounia Batma, from Morocco, Jordan’s Oraib Hamdan and Kuwait’s Khalid Busakhr, and it witnessed an overwhelming response from over 3,000 people.

The concerts were organised to mark Kuwait’s National Day and the 16th anniversary of Bahrain’s National Action Charter.

Ms Batma’s performance went ahead after the Urgent Matters Court on Wednesday threw out a last-minute attempt by Platinum Records, a subsidiary of Saudi broadcasting giant MBC, to stop it due to a contractual dispute.
