Egypt has seen many stars come and fade, many leave with grace and a song or few that stick around. Alam Alphan, the music label that Mohsin Gabar launched in the early 80s, has been a gate keeper fro many of those voices, they helped them launch their careers.
Now Mazzika is uploading all their old clips and music videos all the day from the company's early days, I must say this is pretty cool as we get to learn more about the stars that helped made the translation from classical Arabic music to pop. Remember that sub par makeup makeup and outdated camera movement.
Neama was standing in the middle of it all, as the style she chose was slowly being pushed out the door, and welcoming the new funky pop. I am inclined to think that Naema is an Egyptian, but cannot find much online to back that up. I did mange to find a n old cassette cover of hers.
Nouma did not last long, maybe she just wanted to quit after one album it might also have been that she did not want to get into the image obsessed business and fast beat.
Haram Aleik - Neama حرام عليك - نعمى

Ala El Meena - Nouhma على المينا - نعمى
