Mostafa Mahfooz Final Battle Song

مصطفى محفوظ "واحد منهم" لثورة 25 يناير Mostafa Mahfooz Wahed Menohom

Mostafa Mahfooz the composer turned singer (seriously, we need more of those) gave some of us melodies to a number of Arab stars and helped them shine. I love his collaboration with Omnya Soliman, the Egyptian singer with Cashmere voice. He had had a half dozen of songs of modest success prior to the revolution, but now after the revolution in Egypt on January 25th and the 18 days following that.

Now the composer turned singer surfaced again sporting a beard and offering his wisdom through his music and words in his latest titled Wahed Menohom, one of their own. About justice and earning their rights back. Mostafa does not fail to mention that he took part of the protest and stood with the protesters. On the music side, this is actually some fine music, it plays like an epic movie soundtrack for some intense fighting scene where the hero goes to face the protagonist in the final hour.

Two thumps up for his tribute to the fallen man and women who did no wonrg other than asking for what was theirs. He is right the dignity and the rights have now come back to the people.
