Saber Rebai Brings Tunisian Music’s Heritage to Cairo Opera

Iconic Tunisian singer Saber Rebai participated at the 30th Arab Music Festival and Conference where he introduced several hits such as “Dalona,” “Ala El Tayer,” “Sedi Mansour,” “Barsha,” and “Khalas Tarek.”

In addition, he brought the heritage of Tunisian music to the stage by performing folk compositions, and some of late Tunisian singer Zekra’s songs.

Before the performance, Rebai expressed his thanks to the Minister of Culture Dr. Enas Abdel Dayem, and the Director of Cairo Opera House Dr. Magdy Saber.

Egyptian star Riham Abdel Hakim performed a number of covers for classic hits such as “Nassam Alaina El Hawa,” “Al Asamy,” “Hikaiti Maa’ El Zaman,” and “Hayart Aalbi Maa’ak.”

Both singers beautifully brought their countries’ musical legacy to the Cairo Opera House stage to create a communication between two cultures, and to revive their musical identity.
