Abu Dhabi, UAE – 21 December 2023 – Anghami (NASDAQ: ANGH), the leading music and entertainment streaming platform in the MENA region, has announced the exclusive release of Amr Diab‘s long-awaited album, “Makanak,” on its platform on December 28, 2023.

The album launch will be followed by a series of live concerts featuring the iconic pop sensation, solidifying Anghami’s commitment to providing unique and unforgettable experiences for its users in the region.
Amr Diab’s exclusivity took center stage and reached new heights as he dominated Anghami’s charts throughout 2023, claiming the spot as the most followed artist. Earlier this year, Anghami officially recognized Amr Diab as the most streamed artist of all time on the platform during his mega concert in Beirut, with a staggering 1.8+ billion streams.
El Hadaba’s releases have consistently been a journey through musical evolution, breaking records and capturing the hearts of fans worldwide. “Makanak” is a genre-defying masterpiece, offering a diverse sonic journey that seamlessly blends Arabic Maqsoum genre with the global beats of deep house vibes. The 12-song album is the first since his iconic album “Ya Ana Ya La” released back in December 2020. This unique fusion of deep house sounds and oriental music has become synonymous with Amr Diab’s recent hits, such as “Ya Leil” and “Wallahi Abadan.”
As the anticipation builds with each song, Anghami and Amr Diab are set to embark on a live concert tour, bringing the album theme to life in a series of unforgettable live performances. The tour, to be managed and executed by Anghami Spotlight, the dedicated offline and events division of Anghami, is scheduled to kick off in Abu Dhabi on March 2nd, 2024, followed by Cairo, Dubai, and Amman.
