    Blast from the past : Take me back to Cairo

     

    The land of Eternal sunshine

     

    This is music video was made for the music hit in the 1960s "Take me back to Cairo" which was sung by Karim Shoukry ,An Egyptian young man who left Egypt in 1960s to Canada to start a career in his showbiz as a singer and producer , the song met a huge success , karim_shukryalready the music is wonderful , the mix between the western and Egyptian music blows my wind , the Egyptian part actually is from the folklore ,an original folklore piece of Music . It is from the Anglo-Arab hits , you see the Franco-Arab songs win more

    Shukry is currently living in Montreal as a successful film distributor and producer as far I found out, to tell you the truth he had an excellent voice

    The Song was re-represented again to the Egyptian audience in 1980s by Singer Samir El-Eskandarny , in fact I know it from Samir

    Huge thanks to my dear friend Dr.Ahmed Kamel for finding this treasure in Youtube

    and here is the MP3 for those who only like to listen
