The latest buzz on the internet is around the leak of “El-Hadaba” Amr Diab's music video, “Amakan El Sahar”.

The song went viral on Twitter after it was leaked online ahead of its official release.

The 58-year-old singing legend had recently finished recording the song in complete secrecy.

“Amakan El Sahar” was filmed in Hacienda Bay, North Coast, which will feature El Sherbiny in Diab’s music video for the first time as well as a number of his friends.

The song is by the lyrics of Tamer Hussein, composed by Aziz El-Shafei, and distributed by Tarek Madkour, and directed by Ahmed El-Naggar.

Hussein called on the singer's fan pages that love him and support him, not to circulate the song online for the sake of likes.

On the other hand, a close source to Diab claimed that the music video will be released on Friday.

Recently, the 58-year-old singing legend released a new music video, “Ya Baladna Ya Helwa”, which featured him in several tourist attractions, including scenes from on top of a Nile fountain, highlighting the country’s charm, civilization, and historical buildings.

Diab will resume acting 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.

“I am thrilled to work with Netflix on this new project. I have always believed that art is a global language, and we have been able to build bridges of connections and love with perse cultures through music,” Diab said.

The bestselling artist expressed his excitement that the project will be reaching more than 193 million members in more than 190 countries around the world, where they will be able to watch new content made in Egypt and enjoyed by the world.

Diab co-starred in three films “El Afareet”, “Ice Cream in Gleam”, and “Dehk Wa Le’b Wa Gad Wa Hob”.

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

In 1992, Diab 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 “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.

It is worth mentioning that Diab, born on October 11, 1961, is an Egyptian multi-award-winning pop singer-songwriter.

The 58-year-old singing legend is known to fans as El-Hadaba. He has created his own style, which is often termed “Mediterranean Music”, a blend of Western and Egyptian rhythms.

Diab became the first Arabic artist to start making high-tech music videos by 1992. His fame in the entertainment industry has led him to experiment with other forms of media, such as film-making.
