♬ Ali Ali / عالي عالي (Parts 1 & 2)

Fātima Ahmad Kamal Shākir / فاطمة أحمد كمال شاك – better known by her stage name Shadia / شادية (also seen transliterated as Shādiyya or, in the case of this record, Chadia) – was born February 8th, 1931 in in Cairo, Egypt.

Besides starring in over 100 films during the golden age of Egyptian cinema, Shadia is remembered for her many patriotic songs – earning her the nickname as ”The Voice of Egypt”.

This track was written by Baligh Hamdi / بليغ حمدي. Although uncredited, I suspect that the guitar on this track is Omar Khorshid / عمر خورشيد.

PLEASE NOTE: I have edited Side One and Side Two into one track, attempting to make the transition from Part One and Part Two as seamless as possible.

Catalog number ESOA 150 on Soutelphan of Cairo, Egypt. No release date listed.
