Khaled Selim is a creative singer with a lot of persona, attitude and heart. While he was not in the front lines standing up for the protesters, he just dedicated a song for the fallen. But he did not write a new song, instead he brought back an old song that is already popular to anew life.
Khaled wrote new lyrics for Aala Bali to honor the fallen and the new reality on the ground. Aala Bali is an old song about the home boys and the affinity one has with them wherever they go. It's a very touching song that Egyptians living away from home memorize and live by its words.
Khaled Selim's choice in renewing an old song is a new approach to keeping up with current events. The people already know the song and love it, so they do not have to familiarize themselves with a new song. In away this is a smart business decsion, the Khaled Selim's song will live as long as the original one is still around--it has already been around for decades.
