ستنتطلق محطتنا في العام الجديد بباقة أغاني إقترحتوها أنتم لنا العام الماضي والتي أحببناها ورأينا فيها ما يستحق أن ينشر بين العالم. نتمنى لكم عام جديد مليء بالسعادة والدفء كما نريد أن نطلعكم بأننا سوف نبدأ بأخذ إقتراحاتكم والعمل عليها عسى أن تجلب لكم هذه البادرة السعادة... وأن تزيد من ثقافتنا نحن بشتى ألوان الموسيقى العربية. دمتم ودام عالمنا العربي مبدع, وجميل. I want to kick off the new year with songs you have introduced to me in 2018 and that I have grown to love and listen to frequently. I hope that this new year brings to each and everyone of you nothing but moments of joy and laughter. For that end, I want to start to take on more of your requests and dedicate them to you, my companions on this journey. It may not be much, but I hope it still brings to your hearts jubilee. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abdel Halim Ali Shabana (Arabic: عبد الحليم علي شبانة), commonly known as Abdel Halim Hafez (Arabic: عبد الحليم حافظ) (June 21, 1929 – March 30, 1977) was an Egyptian singer, actor, conductor, business man, music teacher and movie producer.
