That is why the singer prevented the discussion from singing with Asala in the opera house
Singer Al-Naqqash was prevented from appearing with Asala so that they would not throw him into the sea. Tariq Al-Shennawi detonated a new surprise, about preventing Ahmed Salem, who was known as “Singer Al-Naqash,” from participating with Asala singing at the closing ceremony of the Arab Music Festival at the Egyptian Opera House.
El-Shennawy revealed in Permit Quoting the Arab News Agency, one of the festival officials objected on the day of the ceremony to Salem's participation in the ceremony, claiming that he was not trained and was not worthy of the Egyptian Opera House.
Then it became clear that the musician Helmy Bakr, member of the Higher Committee of the Arab Music Festival, was behind the ban. He confirmed in press statements that Salem must be rehabilitated before he can stand on the opera stage, and he may not be thrown into the sea once without first teaching him to swim.
Al-Shennawi criticized the arrogant view that was dealt with the singer Salem, especially since Asala wanted to support his talent to participate in a small segment during the concert, but in the end the loud voice succeeded in not participating in the ceremony.
Despite his appearance in rehearsals with Asala a few days before the concert, Bakr's statements confirmed what Al-Shennawi said, as the first admitted the matter, explaining that if the singer made a mistake in singing, the responsibility would fall to the festival's higher committee.
The matter has become a new crisis among the crises of musician Bakr, who has entered into more than one previous artistic clash, and he always has sharp opinions, from which Asala herself, the heroine of the concert, was not spared.
The strange thing is that Asala did not perform during the ceremony the song "Ali Jarry" composed by Bakr, despite the public's request and urgency.
