Composer Fares Fahmy warns that festivals may become Egypt's primary artistic representation

Music composer and orchestrator Fares Fahmy expressed his concerns that music festivals might become Egypt's main artistic face. He emphasized that music reflects the country's identity and culture. He clarified that Egypt used to have an open audience receptive to global musical styles, and that maintaining musical taste is a shared responsibility between artists and content creators. It is essential to present music that portrays Egypt's civilization and history, rather than focusing on unartistic models that do not reflect the core of its culture. He affirmed that developing music should preserve quality and artistic identity without compromising values, in order to truly represent Egypt's image to the world.
