They Both Brought Their A Game

what do you get when you put three of the best Egyptian talent in acting and poetry together in 1985? Sounds too random, but it's not so. Who comes first the women or the man? It took a top of of her class female writer to write something this beautiful. Sanaa Al beesy wrote the story.

Howa We Hyah (He and She), was a popular TV series in 1985 where Soad Hosny, Ahmad Zaky and port Salah Gaheen came together in this word. While those three are no longer with us, absent by death and mystery, one of their collaborations survives and continues to be one of inspire.

Ahmad Zaky brought the tough rugged man look who takes himself seriously and have a hard time letting his guard down. Soad Hosny brought the spunk and funk into this role, she is the energizer cuter bunny that made this show work. Poet Salah Jaheen brought his stark social observation and gift of words to describe the battle of the sexes.

The song does not resolve anything but it's the Arab version of Men are from Mars, women from Venus. It's a journey between tradition and modernity.
