“If we make a song about elections, it's not that we support any of the parties, but rather to encourage people to participate in the political process -- allowing people to express what they see and whatever they want. But we won't influence their opinion.” Ahmed Hafez

For the memorial of all who had died for Egypt's Pride at 25 Jan 2011

Sayed Darwish б March 17, 1892 – September 15, 1923) was an Egyptian singer and composer who was considered the father of Egyptian popular music and one of their greatest musicians and their single greatest composer. He was born in Alexandria on March 17, 1892. Darwish died of a heart attack in Alexandria on September 15, 1923 (aged 31). The cause of his death is still unknown. Some say he was poisoned, others say he died from a cocaine overdose.

Born in Kom Al-Dikka on 17 March 1892, was canonized soon after his tragically early death on 15 September 1923 as one of the pioneers of Arabic music, a leader of the "cultural renaissance" that swept Egypt at the turn of the century, and the bard of the 1919 Revolution.
