Egypt’s Musician Association tracks Maria down

Published March 6th, 2005 - 12:04 GMT

The Egyptian Musician Association has once again returned to the scenes and began executing its laws on the new wave of seductive music videos being aired. The latest victim of these laws is Lebanese singer Maria, whose music videos are considered to be inappropriate containing too many provocative scenes.

 

Earlier this week, Maria, known as the Corn Flakes singer, was put in a very humiliating situation as she was forced to stop her concert in Dream Park Cairo and was taken off stage in front of her audience. Head of the Musician Association ordered her removal off stage due to the fact that she was holding a concert without obtaining a permit.

 

The situation had gotten worse when the singer was taken to the police station and had charges pressed against her for repeatedly taking part in different entertainment activities and singing in nightclubs around Egypt illegally.
