Listeners of Egyptian Radio's music station can tune in on Thursday at 11am to hear a selection of songs by Warda, one of the most iconic voices in Arabic music. The broadcast, prepared by Mohamed Zakaria, will feature some of Warda's most popular songs, including "Ma'aqool Ahib Tanani" (It's Reasonable to Love Another), "Ruh Ya Hawa" (Go, Oh Wind), "Bihibak Fouq Ma Tatasawwar" (I Love You More Than You Can Imagine), and "Hobak Qadr" (Your Love is My Destiny). The show will run for half an hour.
This broadcast is part of a series of special programs on Egyptian Radio, which often features music by legendary Arabic singers. Warda, known as the Queen of Arabic Music, was a highly influential singer and actress who was active from the 1960s until her death in 2005. Her music continues to be popular in Egypt and beyond, and her legacy is still celebrated by fans of Arabic music.
The broadcast of Warda's hits comes on the heels of other musical programs on Egyptian Radio. Recently, the station aired a selection of songs by Fairouz, another iconic Arabic singer, and by Sabah, a Lebanese singer known as the "Shahroura" (the Morning Star). These programs are part of Egyptian Radio's efforts to promote Arabic music and provide a platform for listeners to enjoy the music of legendary artists.
In addition to its musical programming, Egyptian Radio also broadcasts news and current events programs. Recently, the station reported on the distribution of 749 food baskets by the King Salman Relief Center in the city of Deir al-Balah in the Gaza Strip. This effort is part of a broader initiative to provide humanitarian assistance to those in need.
Egyptian Radio also reported on the reaction of Ramzi Ramadan, an Egyptian athlete, to a recent decision to suspend him for four years. Ramadan expressed uncertainty about his next steps, saying "I don't know what my next move will be." The suspension was imposed by the Egyptian Athletics Federation, which cited Ramadan's failure to comply with anti-doping regulations.
Meanwhile, in sports news, Egyptian athlete Danial Olmo has reportedly turned down an offer from Bayern Munich, a German football club. Olmo, who plays for the Egyptian national team, had been courted by several European clubs, but he ultimately decided not to join Bayern Munich.
