The head of the General Entertainment Authority, Turki Al-Sheikh, revealed (Thursday) that the aunt worn by one of the participants of the ‘Saudi Idol’ program is not a traditional garment in the Hijaz region.
And Al-Sheikh said on his official Twitter page: “I have two voices that impressed and moved me, and I hope the committee will not take my words. But I blame him, I hope to see him wearing Saudi clothes next time, because this aunt is neither our aunt nor the Hijaz people’s aunt… The second one is from Jizan, which was at the end of the second episode. .. God be upon him, ”she said.
And the head of the General Authority for Entertainment wrote in another tweet: “These are not the clothes of the Hijaz people, and the clothes of a stranger to us, and she is not our aunt … The Hijaz people are to the eye and head, but this is a distortion of our history, and we will not accept or permit any band or entertainment activities with the aunt.”
And Al-Sheikh added in the tweet: “Even when the precious Yanbu band arrived in Riyadh season, they wore the headdress of his uncle or the original aunt of the Hijaz people,” he said.
The head of the General Authority for Entertainment started a discussion with a number of tweeters about “the aunt” and whether it was a tradition and dress of the Hijaz people, and Al-Sheikh insisted that the aunt was “ an intruder” on the culture of the Hijaz region.
