The two singers performed the song "Baladna Helwa", the official song for the opening ceremony of ‘Avenue of the Sphinxes’ in Luxor.
Lara sang in both English and French, leaving everyone stunned by her angelic voice and dress that inspired by the Pharaonic civilization.
Hamaki's lyrics start with; "Here...it's Heaven on earth...here on our land. Whoever made it here said that's where we belong. From all over the world, every stone in our country recounts our history. The Nile is the witness living in our soul...That's where life began."
Then, Lara starts singing in English and French. "I have been told about a treasure that you only find in the most beautiful dreams. It is one of a kind. Here we are as we follow the lights. But I laid my eyes on Luxor and here I see."
About 160 percussionists of djembe and Arab Military Music performers will take part in the grand ceremony.
The list of soloists, in order of appearance: Shahd Ezz “First Call”, Haidy Moussa “Hatshepsut” song, Ezz El Ostool “Amon Ra” song, and Wael El Fashni “Luxor is our country” song.
The event will also feature the performance of the Union Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir, led by maestro Abbassi.
Dr. Maisara Abdallah selected the poems from the chants and hymns on the temple walls for the celebration of the most famous holiday in ancient Egypt, which is the Opet Festival.
Sound Engineer Mafdy Thabet will manage the sound engineering and recording for the Philharmonic Union Orchestra and Choir.
