Diab had recently performed at the MDL Beast music three-day festival, which ran from December 19-21.

It was hosted at a huge outdoor venue in Banban that consists of five stages, each build with a unique design reflecting its performers.

The festival’s line-up showcase about 18 global superstar headliners, 28 international dance acts and 24 local and regional performers, some of the best musicians and DJs in the world, such as David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Steve Aoki, and R3hab.

Moreover, the megastar had released several songs from his forthcoming album “Ana Gheir”, such as “Awel Youm Fi Elboad”, “Oddam Mirayatiha”, “Youm Talat”, “Bahebo,” “Ana Gheir”, and “Mitghayar”.

In this new album — produced by Nay production Company— Diab cooperated with a prominent group of songwriters and prominent composers including, Hamid El Shaeri, Ahmed Al-Malki, Mohamed Rahim, Saber Kamal, Amir Teima, and Islam Zaki.

He had cooperated with poets Ahmed Marzouk and Mohamed Al-Qayati for the first time.

The 58-year-old megastar had launched last year his latest released album “Kol Hayaty”, which featured 13 songs.

He also cooperated with poet Ahmed Marzouk for the first time.

The megastar, born on October 11, 1961, is an Egyptian multi-award-winning pop singer-songwriter.

Diab, known to fans as El-Hadaba, has created his own style, which is often termed “Mediterranean Music”, a blend of Western and Egyptian rhythms.

The 57-year-old became the first Arabic artist to start making high-tech music videos by 1992.

Diab’s fame in the entertainment industry has led him to experiment with other forms of media, such as film-making.

The megastar co-starred in three films “El Afareet”, “Ice Cream in Gleam”, and “Dahk Wa Laab”.

Diab co-starred as himself in his first film, “El Afareet” — released in 1989 — with prominent Egyptian actress, Madiha Kamel.

In 1992, he starred in his second film “Ice Cream in Gleam”, which was chosen as one of the best five Egyptian musical films by the “UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television”.

The megastars’ third film “Dahk Wa Laab” came out in 1993, co-starring international Egyptian star Omar Sharif and prominent Egyptian actress Yousra.

Despite the films’ success, Diab did not experience the same level of success in acting as he had with his music.

He has focused on his singing career since 1993.
