Brazilian Radio Station Dedicated an Episode to Amr Diab

In a precedent of its kind, "El Hadaba” Amr Diab and his music career were the focus of a special episode play on a famous Brazilian radio station.

Radio host João Marcello Bôscoli spoke during an episode titled, "Direct from Egypt, Mediterranean Music by Amr Diab" on his program "Sala de Música" broadcast on the radio station "CBN", about the music the acclaimed singer presents, which is a mixture of Egyptian and pop music.

He described Diab as the spiritual father and godfather of Mediterranean music.

The radio host also talked about the awards he received, including the World Music Award, which "El Hadaba” obtained four times, becoming the first Arab and Middle Eastern artist to achieve the feat.

Bôscoli also shed light on the importance of the role played by Amr Diab's music and songs in transmitting Egyptian culture to the world through mixing Egyptian words and melodies with advanced arrangements that keep pace with the international musical language.

Diab, born on October 11, 1961, is a multi-award-winning pop singer-songwriter. He created his own style which is often termed “Mediterranean Music”, a blend of Western and Egyptian rhythms, by 1992, he became the first Arabic artist to start making high-tech music videos.

He is a Guinness World Record holder, the best-selling Middle Eastern artist, a seven-time winner of World Music Awards, and a five-time winner of Platinum Records.

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

The acclaimed singer 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 the film “Al Sagenatan” starring prominent actresses Elham Shahin and Samah Anwar.

Despite the films' success, Diab did not experience the same success in acting as he had with his music. He has focused on his singing career since 1993.

In 2020, the iconic singer signed on to make an acting comeback in an original Arabic series for Netflix. The project has yet to come to the light.
