اِفْتُتِحَ مَهْرَجَانُ الْمُوسِيقَى الْعَرَبِيَّةِ الرَّابِعُ وَالثَّلَاثُونَ فِي دَارِ الْأُوبِرَا بِالْقَاهِرَةِ يَوْمَ الثُّلَاثَاءِ، الْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ أُكْتُوبَرَ. وَخُصِّصَ حَفْلُ الِافْتِتَاحِ لِذِكْرَى الْمُغَنِّي الْمِصْرِيِّ هَانِي شَاكِرَ، الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ فِي وَقْتٍ سَابِقٍ مِنْ هَذَا الْعَامِ. وَحَضَرَتْ أُسْرَتُهُ وَفَنَّانُونَ وَمَسْؤُولُونَ ثَقَافِيُّونَ هَذَا التَّكْرِيمَ.
عُرِضَ فِلْمَانِ قَصِيرَانِ عَنْ حَيَاتِهِ وَمَسِيرَتِهِ، وَغَنَّى فَنَّانُونَ عَدَدًا مِنْ أَشْهَرِ أَغَانِيهِ. كَمَا قُدِّمَتْ أُغْنِيَةٌ جَدِيدَةٌ بِعُنْوَانِ «فِي نَاسٍ تَغِيبُ» تَكْرِيمًا لَهُ. وَتَسَلَّمَتْ زَوْجَتُهُ دِرْعًا تَذْكَارِيًّا بِاسْمِهِ، فِي حُضُورِ أَفْرَادٍ مِنَ الْأُسْرَةِ.
وَأَعْلَنَ وَزِيرُ الثَّقَافَةِ الْمُكَلَّفُ أَنَّ تِمْثَالًا لِشَاكِرَ سَيُقَامُ فِي سَاحَةِ دَارِ الْأُوبِرَا الْمِصْرِيَّةِ. وَكَرَّمَ الْمِهْرَجَانُ تِسْعَةَ مُوسِيقِيِّينَ وَبَاحِثِينَ مِنْ مِصْرَ وَبُلْدَانٍ عَرَبِيَّةٍ أُخْرَى. وَيَشْمَلُ بَرْنَامَجُهُ حَفَلَاتٍ فِي الْقَاهِرَةِ وَالْإِسْكَنْدَرِيَّةِ حَتَّى الثَّلَاثِينَ مِنْ أُكْتُوبَرَ. وَقَالَ مُنَظِّمُونَ إِنَّ الْمِهْرَجَانَ يُكَرِّمُ الْفَنَّانِينَ وَيُسَاعِدُ عَلَى حِفْظِ التُّرَاثِ الْمُوسِيقِيِّ الْعَرَبِيِّ.
وَفِي الْحَفْلِ أَيْضًا، وَجَّهَتْ أُسْرَةُ شَاكِرَ الشُّكْرَ إِلَى الْمُنَظِّمِينَ عَلَى تَخْصِيصِ الْمِهْرَجَانِ لِذِكْرَاهُ. وَقَالَتْ زَوْجَتُهُ إِنَّ تَكْرِيمَهُ فِي بَلَدِهِ لَهُ مَعْنًى خَاصٌّ. وَتُذَكِّرُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةُ الْجُمْهُورَ بِأَنَّ الْأَغَانِيَ تَبْقَى حَيَّةً فِي ذَاكِرَةِ النَّاسِ، حَتَّى بَعْدَ رَحِيلِ أَصْحَابِهَا.

Arab Music Festival Honors Hany Shaker
The 34th Arab Music Festival opened at the Cairo Opera House on Tuesday, October 20. Its opening concert honored the memory of Egyptian singer Hany Shaker, who died earlier this year. His family, performers, and cultural officials attended the tribute.
Two short films about his life and career were shown, and performers sang several of his best-known songs. A new song, “Fi Nas Taghib” (“Some People Leave”), was also presented in his honor. His wife received a commemorative shield on his behalf, with family members present.
The acting culture minister announced that a statue of Shaker would be placed on the grounds of the Egyptian Opera House. The festival also honored nine musicians and researchers from Egypt and other Arab countries. Its program includes concerts in Cairo and Alexandria through October 30. Organizers said the festival honors artists and helps preserve Arab musical heritage.
At the ceremony, Shaker’s family also thanked the organizers for dedicating the festival to his memory. His wife said that honoring him in his own country had special meaning. The evening reminds audiences that songs live on in people’s memories, even after their creators are gone.
