On February 12, Diab’s latest album “Sahran”, which included 14 songs and was produced by “Nay” production company.

In this new album, Turki al-Sheikh, Saudi chairman of General Authority for Entertainment had written the lyrics of three songs, which were composed by Amr Mostafa.

It also featured a duet between Diab and his daughter Jana in the song “Jamila” (Beautiful), where Diab performed a part in Arabic and Jana sang in English.

The song is composed by Jana and Bilal Sorour, as well as wrote the song in collaboration with the poet Shady Nour, and distributed by Tarek Madkour.

This is the first time for one of his children to participate with him in his music, which is also her first time as a singer and composer.

Meanwhile, the 59-year-old singing legend is set to resume his acting career after a 27-year hiatus with an Arabic original series for Netflix.

The production, currently untitled, will be a musical drama, which is under development.

The singing legend co-starred in four films, “Al Sagenatan”, “El Afareet”, “Ice Cream in Gleam”, and “Dehk Wa Le’b Wa Gad Wa Hob”.

In 1988, he made his acting debut in film “Al Sagenatan” starring prominent actresses Elham Shahin and Samah Anwar.

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

In 1992, the singing legend starred in his third 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 bestselling artist’s fourth film “Dehk Wa Le’b Wa Gad Wa Hob” 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.
