New Year’s Eve 2021: Assala Nasri to Perform Live in Egypt

Syrian megastar, Assala Nasri will perform live on New Year’s Eve at the Sound and Light theater, in The Great Pyramids of Giza.

The concert will take place at 10:00 PM (Cairo local time), and marks Nasri's first-ever concert to be performed at the Pyramids.

Syrian megastar's latest artistic work is song “Al Farq Al Kabir”, which marks her first collaboration with the head of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority Turki Al-Sheikh.

It is worth mentioning that Assala Mostafa Hatem Nasri, most commonly known as Assala, is a Syrian singer and TV host.

She was born in Damascus to a middle-class couple, her father Moustafa Nasry, was a well-known Syrian composer and singer.

The megastar began her musical career by performing patriotic, religious, and children’s songs when she was four years old.

Nasri sang the theme song “Qessas al-Sho’oub (Stories of People”) of the cartoon show “Hekaayat ‘aalamiyah” (Global tales).

In 1986, her father passed away in a fatal car accident after suffering from internal bleeding. Aged 17, she helped her mother in taking care of her siblings, Reem, Amaany, Ayman, and Ayham.

Nasri made her musical debut in 1993 with “Law te’rafou” (If you know). The album had 4 songs in the oriental operatic TARAB style composed by great Egyptian composers. The album was an instant hit with heartbreaking songs like “Ya sabra yana” (How patient I am) and” Samehtak ketir (I forgave a lot).

She quickly cemented her presence in a growing industry brimming with new, young talents like Najwa Karam, Saber Rebai, Angham, and Abdelmajeed Abdullah.

Nasri booked herself a place along with the Arab singing legends among great albums through two decades.

Among her most famous albums are “Eghdab” (Get angry), “Wala tessadda” (Do not believe), “Alby beyertahlak (My heart feels at home with you), “Ya mag-noun” (Oh madman), “Moshtaa’a” (I am missing you), ” Yameen Allah” (I swear), “Add al-horouf” (As much as letters), “Hayaaty” (My life), “Noss haala” (A half situation), and “Kanoun kaifek” (The law of your fancy).
