Egyptian Radio's Victory Songs in 1973
During the October 1973 War, the Egyptian radio served as a primary means of broadcasting war news and uniting national sentiments. Normal programming was suspended, replaced by military announcements and patriotic songs celebrating victory. Among the most notable of these songs was "Bism Allah... Allah Akbar," written and composed by Baligh Hamdi in just a few hours. It was broadcast days after the Egyptian forces crossed, becoming a symbol of victory. Other prominent songs, such as "We Crossed the Defeat" by Shadia and "We Are Going with Arms in Hand," which was revived during the war, also took center stage. Additionally, songs by Abdel Halim Hafez conveyed feelings of pride and triumph. Alongside these, there were songs with a humanistic tone, like "Mother of the Hero," which documented the suffering of mothers and became part of the memory of victory. Its words were carried through streets via loudspeakers and radios, becoming an integral part of the patriotic celebration of the crossing and national victory.
