Abdel Halim Hafiz Was Born June 21st, 1929




And passed away on March 30th, 1977 after an epic struggle with illness that took him at a young age. He is the master of Arabic romantic songs for the 60s, and 70s the champion that was a heart breaker and a smart musician.

Look at this performance of his and see how animated he gets in his songs, it's like he puts so much energy into the song he is performing to make you believe what he believes. His records continue to sell millions and his videos and songs rack up the viewers.

The coffee cup reader "The Palmist" is about destiny, and makes one of the most famous Abdel Halim Hafiz songs, it took 2 years to compose music worthy of it and the Syrian poet Nizar Al Qabbany altered the verses of the poem to accommodate Abel Halim Hafiz. This song will go on to be the most dramatic song about the uncertain love future.
