The Sound of Cinema

Since its early days, Egyptian cinema has been closely intertwined with musical films, as prominent singers of the time often starred in them, using cinema as an additional platform to promote their songs. Icons such as Umm Kulthum, Mohamed Abdel Wahab, Sabah, Farid Al-Atrash, Mohamed Fawzi and others created popular films and timeless songs for nearly three decades. By the late 1960s, songs began to fade from films, only to reemerge later—this time not through actors or renowned singers, but more closely tied to the film’s dramatic context.
