The Russian House in Cairo, in collaboration with the Egyptian-Russian Friendship Association, is organizing a poetic and musical evening featuring the great poet Zein Alabidin Fouad.
The event will be held on Wednesday, October 8th, at 7:00 PM, at the Russian House headquarters in Dokki.
Poet Zein Alabidin Fouad's poetry is famous for its nationalistic character and use of the Egyptian colloquial dialect (Al-Ammiya). Some of his poems were set to music and sung by many artists, most prominently Sheikh Imam.
The celebration will also include the Alexandrian artist and oud player Mahmoud Youssef, who will present a collection of songs that he composed with lyrics by Zein Alabidin Fouad. The famous percussionist Zein Alabidin Mohamed will also participate.
On the sidelines of the event, a collection of rare archival photographs from the nation's memory, taken through the lens of the poet Zein Alabidin Fouad, will be displayed.
