Ehab Tawfiq

Inspired by the al-jil (Egyptian pop music) of Hamid el-Shaeri, Ehab Tawfik has been performing in his homeland for more than a quarter of a century. His greatest exposure came, on February 26, 2001, when he performed for 50,000 people at a benefit concert to raise funds for Iraqis who were maimed during the Gulf War in Baghdad. ~ Craig Harris
