Abdel Halim Hafez - Mawood (1971) (@256)












It was last Sunday that Egypt lifted the Africa Cup of Nations trophy with a fully-deserved victory over Cameroon by 1-0.

So, it is a very good opportunity to upload a spectacular live performance of Abdel Halim Hafez, an Egyptian who dominated the Pharaohs land as well as the whole Middle East from the 50's to the 70's. Although its been more than 30 years from his death, his songs are still played on a daily basis in the Arab world, while his recordings still sell extensively.
