The Egyptian singer wants to inspire a new generation to rediscover Arab world\u2019s music giants<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Arabic pop music scene is running in an inverse pattern.<\/span><\/p>\n

On one hand, you have veteran stars such Amr Diab, Elissa and Najwa Karam all releasing polished albums full of modern productions twists. While on the other, you have a growing number of young talents seeking inspiration from the past.<\/span><\/p>\n

Palestinian singer and former\u00a0Arab Idol<\/em>\u00a0winner Mohammed Assaf\u00a0recently announced\u00a0<\/a>his intention to record an album dedicated to songs by legendary crooner Abdul Halim Hafez.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Moroccan teenager Hamza Lebayed is building his career on the back of winning the last season of\u00a0The Voice Kids<\/em>. It was a feat achieved through his soaring takes of classic songs by Umm Kulthum and Sabah Fakhri. Also on the list is the Lebanese soprano and Umm Kulthum specialist Hiba Tawaji, and rising Egyptian star Mohamed Mohsen.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, don\u2019t tell the latter that what he and his colleagues are doing is a throwback.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is something that irks me,\u201d Mohsen says, before a sold out concert on June 30 as part of Morocco\u2019s Mawazine festival. \u201cPeople keep telling me that we are bringing them back to a beautiful period in the past. I am not really secure with that term. The way that I look at it, you can make today beautiful. I am pleased with my artistic path and it has always been about going forward.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mohsen\u2019s elevation to becoming one of the region\u2019s most technically gifted singers, with an acclaimed recording and stage career, is as much down to nurture as it is nature.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 33-year-old recalls a Cairo childhood different from the norm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where others kids played after-school football on the streets, Mohsen was at home listening to the music from Egypt\u2019s golden age of singers, ranging from the aforementioned Umm Kulthum to Sayed Darwish to Mohammed Abdel Wahab.<\/span><\/p>\n

This was further supplemented by going to neighbouring sheikhs to learn the vocal intricacies of Quran recitation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Intriguingly, despite laying the seeds for his musical talents, Mohsen\u2019s father had no plans\u00a0to do with\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a policeman and he really wanted me to continue the family tradition and join the armed forces, but I had another path,\u201d Mohsen says. \u201cHe was a cultured man and a talented calligrapher. When he got home from work, he would work on his designs with the radio playing songs by these classic singers. These songs and voices kind of seeped into me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

These musical inclinations bloomed during his college years, where he became active in Cairo University\u2019s theatre company.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt taught me a few things about the creative process and generally that there are different motivations behind being an artist,\u201d he explains. \u201cOn one hand it is about following and maybe improving the current trends happening today, or to create based on what interests you. I am firmly in the latter school in that I love to sing these kinds of songs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A key feature of these compositions, Mohsen states, is that they are all encompassing and that no facet of the songwriting process is left to chance.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look at the songs by Umm Kulthum and Mohammed Abdel Wahab and many others, every pillar of the song\u00a0is honoured,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd for me, the heart of it is the lyrics, which always meant something.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

It is a principle he applied to the recording of the original songs that made up his debut album\u00a0Habayeb Zaman.<\/em>\u00a0Quietly released in 2017, the album is gradually gaining listeners on the back of Mohsen\u2019s enchanting live performances.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAll the songs here were thought through. The lyrics are often written as poetry first which we discuss at length,\u201d he says. \u201cOnce me and my team are satisfied with it, we then write the composition and then we add the production touches.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

While most artists would claim they are fond of playing their own tunes, Mohsen is not that fussed. Content in his role as a revivalist of an increasingly forgotten music tradition,\u00a0he is pleased that a younger audience are seeing his shows.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI want them to known what these great singers did for Arab culture,\u201d he says. \u201cI want them to know that people like the great composer Sayed Darwich actually composed Egypt\u2019s national anthem, as well\u00a0Zuruni Kol Sana Mara<\/em>\u00a0(Visit Me Once a Year) which people think is a Fairuz song.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As well as on the stage, Mohsen is also safeguarding that tradition at home. Just like his father, Mohsen is inculcating a love for these classic songs in his three-year-old daughter Dahab.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI only know what worked with me. So I am following the lessons my father, may God bless him, gave me,\u201d he says. \u201cHe developed my ear and an appreciation of the arts. This something that I am keen to give to the next generation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
