CAIRO, 21 April 2005 — Prominent Egyptian singer Amr Diab has returned to working with music distributor Hameed Al Sha’eri and poets Majdi Al Najjar and Ameer Ta’eimah after a conciliation was made through the help of composer Amro Mustafa. A misunderstanding had occurred between Amr and the musicians in the past leading him to cut off all contacts with them.
Problems had surfaced between the singer and his old team after the release of the album “Tamali Ma’ak”. Amr has already agreed to include songs by the composers and poets in his forthcoming album and is looking forward to renewing his cooperation with the three men.
With a different aim in view, Amr is steering away from his profession and will run for elections in the Egyptian Parliament, which will take place immediately after the Presidential elections. The singer has already begun his new political campaign by going back to his hometown to try and win over the support of his people.
Amr will make the announcement of his election publicly in the next few days. Whether the singer will be able to defeat former Parliament members is in the balance, but he will rely on his popularity to win votes and is concentrating on the young generation.
