CAIRO - 20 July 2017: Ghalia Benali will be performing on July 31 at the Romanian Theater in Alexandria as part of the Summer Festival.
The Tunisian artist, Benali, started her artistic career path when she studied art in Belgium. She then found herself mesmerized with the multiculturalism of the Middle East.
She grew up listening to the voices of Umm Kulthum and other Arabic legends, and watched Arabic films that later contributed to her understanding of the multiple Arabic cultures and philosophies.
She embarked on her music journey when she released her album in the late 1990s when she began singing professionally. Her album “Ghalia Benali Sings Om Kalthoum” released in 2010, attracted various Arabic youth to enjoy the classical strong lyrics of the famous Umm Kulthum and discover Benali.
Ticket price to Benali’s concert is LE 75 ($4.19).
