A big surprise, the details of which were revealed by Egyptian art critic Tariq El-Shennawy, about the ban Ahmed Salem, known as “The Singer Al-Naqash”From the participation of Asala’s singing at the closing ceremony of the Arab Music Festival at the Egyptian Opera House.
Al-Shennawi revealed in exclusive statements to Al-Arabiya.net that one of the festival officials opposed Salem’s participation in the ceremony on the day of the ceremony, claiming he was untrained and unworthy of the Egyptian Opera House.

Al-Shennawi attacked the arrogant opinion that she was dealt with the singer Salem, specifically that Asala wanted to support her talent to participate in a small segment during the concert, but in the end the strong voice managed not to attend the ceremony. .

The issue has become a new crisis among the crises of the musician Bakr, who has entered more than a previous artistic clash, and always has acute opinions, from which Asala herself, the heroine of the concert, was not spared.
