Hany Shaker New song

The song addresses optimism in the time of coronavirus.
The novel coronavirus was first reported in Wuhan, China, and has infected more than one million people and killed over 234,139 worldwide. It also hit several celebrities and top political figures around the world.
The virus is a new member of the Coronaviruses group, which was never identified in humans. The viruses’ family also includes Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV), which cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases.
Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people. Humans and animals such as mammals and birds can be affected by the disease.
The name coronavirus is derived from the Latin corona, meaning “crown” or “halo”.
On February 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the official name for the disease caused by the new coronavirus is Covid-19, taken from the words “corona”, “virus” and “disease”.
In December 2019, an outbreak was reported in Wuhan, China. On 31 December 2019, the outbreak was traced to a novel strain of coronavirus, which was given the interim name 2019-nCoV by the World Health Organization (WHO), it was later renamed SARS-CoV-2 by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses.
On March 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus a global pandemic as the new virus has rapidly spread to more than 800,000 people from Asia to the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.
Transmission of viruses between humans happens when someone comes into contact with an infected person’s secretions, such as droplets in a cough.
Coronavirus can also be transmitted by coming into contact with something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes.
It is known that older people appear to be more vulnerable to the effects of the emerging virus.
The virus caused complete paralysis in all activities and events with large gatherings worldwide due to concerns over the spread of the virus.
People across the globe partake in self-isolation for 14 days as an effective precautionary measure to protect those around them and themselves from contracting COVID-19.
It is worth mentioning that Shaker, also known as the Prince of the Arabic song, is an Egyptian singer and composer. The superstar has a repertoire consisting of more than 461 songs and 29 albums.
Shaker made his music debut when he performed “Sora” with Abd El Halim Hafez Choral Group, then he starred in film “Sayed Darwish” as the young Sayed Darwish.
He began his career at a very early age – learning the piano as a child when his mother took on the role of his agent.
Shaker started to study music at the prestigious Cairo Conservatoire in the early 1970s, after graduating from high school.
In 1972, he made his breakthrough while he was in the second year of college with song “Heloua ya Dounia" (It’s a Wonderful Life), written by Mohammed El Mougi.
The track showcased his talent, at that time where the biggest legends remained at their peak.
Several major influential singing legends such as Umm Kulthum, Farid al-Atrash, Mohammed Abdel Wahab, and Abdel Halim Hafez recognized his potential and supported him.
Shaker claims, till now, that he owes his greatest musical debt to Abdel Halim Hafez, a man who is very remarkable and who continues to exert a considerable huge influence on younger Egyptian and Arab musicians even after his death in 1977.
In 1974, he was invited to perform a concert in Lebanon, which turned out to be a huge success, and ever since he remained extremely popular among the Lebanese.
