Ramy Sabry, The Viceroy of Arabic Pop



If you wanted to make a Ramy Sabry song better, you won't be able to. Because he makes them nothing short of perfect, this musician composer singer young man of charm knows who to make a hit. Virtually anything he puts his voice on, will sell. But that does not mean he is not out there to surprise us. His talent ins singing is only matched by his talent in composing upbeat songs.

His latest hit Harras Wala Tkhwen "Better Safe, Than Sorry" was a summer surprise that blindsided many other singers in Egypt. You know the song is a hit, when two weeks after it gets released, it gets its own music video from concert footage where the crowd goes crazy for it.

Ramy Sabry has tremendous respect for Amr Diab, and I know he is not trying to copy him at all, but cannot help but notice how Ramy is doing all the right things that made Amr Diab himself in the first place. First, the stage presence is strong, the lively and interactive performance is second. Third, the style of songs and melodies are a lot similar to the ones Amr feels comfortable with.
