قَدَّمَ الْفَنَّانُ الْمِصْرِيُّ شَرِيفُ مُنِيرٍ، مَساءَ الْأَرْبِعاءِ 19 أَغُسْطُسَ، عَرْضًا مُوسِيقِيًّا مَعَ فِرْقَتِهِ «نوسْتالْجيا» فِي مِهْرَجانِ قَلْعَةِ صَلاحِ الدِّينِ الدُّوَلِيِّ لِلْمُوسِيقَى وَالْغِناءِ فِي الْقاهِرَةِ، أَمامَ جُمْهورٍ كَبيرٍ فِي مَسْرَحِ الْمَحْكَى.

ظَهَرَ مُنِيرٌ خَلْفَ آلَةِ الدِّرامْزِ فِي أَوَّلِ مُشارَكَةٍ لَهُ عَلَى مَسْرَحِ الْمَحْكَى. وَعَزَفَ مَعَ الْفِرْقَةِ مُؤَلَّفاتٍ عَرَبِيَّةً وَغَرْبِيَّةً، إِضافَةً إِلى مَقْطوعاتٍ مِنْ مُوسِيقَى أَفْلامٍ مِصْرِيَّةٍ مَعْروفَةٍ. وَشارَكَ مُغَنُّونَ فِي أَداءِ بَعْضِ هٰذِهِ الْمَقْطوعاتِ.

وَبَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ، قَدَّمَ الْمُغَنِّي هِشامُ عَبّاسٌ مَجْمُوعَةً مِنْ أَغانِيهِ الَّتي عَرَفَها الْجُمْهورُ مُنْذُ سَنَواتٍ. وَتَفاعَلَ الْحاضِرونَ مَعَ الْأَغانِي الْقَديمَةِ، وَمَعَ بَعْضِ أَغانِي الْمُسَلْسَلاتِ التِّلِفْزيونِيَّةِ أَيْضًا. وَجَمَعَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ بَيْنَ الْعَزْفِ الْحَيِّ وَالْغِناءِ وَالذِّكْرَياتِ.

جاءَتِ الْحَفْلَةُ ضِمْنَ الدَّوْرَةِ الرّابِعَةِ وَالثَّلاثينَ مِنَ الْمِهْرَجانِ، الَّتي تُنَظِّمُها دارُ الْأُوبِرا الْمِصْرِيَّةُ. وَتَسْتَمِرُّ فَعالِيّاتُ الدَّوْرَةِ مِنْ 15 إِلى 24 أَغُسْطُسَ. وَيُقامُ الْمِهْرَجانُ فِي قَلْعَةٍ تاريخِيَّةٍ، لِذٰلِكَ يَسْتَمْتِعُ الزُّوّارُ بِالْمُوسِيقَى وَبِمَشْهَدِ الْقاهِرَةِ فِي اللَّيْلِ.

Sherif Mounir and Hisham Abbas Bring a Night of Memories to Cairo Citadel

On the evening of Wednesday, August 19, Egyptian artist Sherif Mounir gave a musical performance with his band Nostalgia at the Cairo Citadel International Festival for Music and Singing, before a large audience at the Al-Mahki stage.

Mounir appeared behind the drums in his first participation on the Al-Mahki stage. With the band, he played Arabic and Western compositions, as well as pieces from well-known Egyptian film music. Singers took part in performing some of these pieces.

After that, singer Hisham Abbas performed a selection of songs that the audience has known for years. Those present also interacted with older songs and with some television-series songs. The evening brought together live instrumental music, singing, and memories.

The concert was part of the festival’s thirty-fourth edition, organized by the Egyptian Opera House. The edition runs from August 15 to 24. The festival takes place in a historic citadel, so visitors can enjoy music and a view of Cairo at night.
