A feverish struggle began to escalate hours ago between the Captain of Egyptian Musicians Hani Shaker and the festivals singers and artist Mohamed Ramadan, on the other hand, where he issued a decision describing him as the final ban completely from festivals singers..and that after a great success achieved by this type of songs, such as the song "Bint Al Jeeran" Lahcen Chakouche, Omar Kamal and the support he received from art stars such as Ahmed Helmy, Mona Zaki, Tamer Hosni, and other stars and celebrities.
A statement issued by the Musicians Syndicate said, "All legal measures will be taken to examine those who violate that decision, including issuing a decision not to deal with the establishment that violates this decision."
It seems that the crisis was ignited after the great revolution caused by the song "The Girl of the Neighbors" and its singers, especially with their revival of a huge concert in Cairo Stadium in "Valentine", which prompted Hani Shaker to make a quick and unprejudicial decision for everyone, including Mohamed Ramadan himself, who will be deprived of singing or Get new permits.
The artist Hani Shaker confirmed to "Emirates Today" that the decision actually resulted after the uproar caused by the last party and the singing of words outside and offensive to public taste .. And he did not accept what is happening in terms of breaching societal customs and that the union council will review all permits for singing or union membership. In light of respected standards and values. "
Shaker said that the support of some art stars and celebrities for the phenomenon of festive songs is shocking and shameful and reflects the deterioration that we have reached.
The musician captain had previously announced that the popular singer Hassan Shakoush had passed the union's tests, indicating that Shakush was a popular singer whose voice was "sweet", and he presented many songs by testing him before the listening committee, which made the committee praise him, and gave him a sign of success.
Shaker said that the decision on the singer’s authority does not mean that his voice is only good, but there are other measures such as commitment to values, society and traditions in all that is presented and in case of non-commitment, the membership and permits of singers are reviewed.
On the arrest of Muhammad Ramadan also from the practice of singing, Shakir said that Ramadan is at the top of the list and he is also prohibited from singing because he is not a union member, as he does not give the union any interest or respect, and we did not give him a permit after his last party and will not be given permits and if he wants to sing it To sing outside Egypt.
Shaker's decision resulted in a fierce attack campaign against him from fans of festivals and others, accusing him of fighting the success and trying to kill talents and tastes that may not only suit his taste, but freedom of creativity is guaranteed to everyone, and what Shaker did represents unacceptable repression.
