DESCRIPTION
In this afikra feature, Rhana Natour explores the music industry in the Arab world, and attempts to understand why there is yet to be an Arab artist to reach the status of Fairuz, Sabah, Abdel Halim, or Umm Kulthum. This is done through understanding contemporary Arab pop culture, the music video phenomenon, and the finances behind it all.
ABOUT THE AFIKRA COMMUNITY PRESENTATIONS
Delivered and prepared by afikra Community members, the presentation’s goal is to showcase the presenter’s curiosity and research, and share some knowledge on a topic related to the Arab world’s histories and cultures. The presentation is the culmination of the afikra coaching process to help identify a topic, find research, and develop the presentation. afikra presentations come in two forms, a long question-driven afikra Feature, and a short afikra FWD with the purpose of sharing something interesting.
