Egyptian music caught the attention during President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi's Asian tour, after two famous songs appeared in two different scenes in South Korea and Malaysia, amid praise and welcome from Egyptians on social media, celebrating the presence of Egyptian art on official occasions outside the country.

In the South Korean capital, Seoul, Korean children performed the song “There is a sweet thing” in Arabic, during the reception of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, in a cultural gesture that attracted attention, and the president exchanged smiles with the children during the scene, which was documented in a video clip published on official Egyptian channels.

The scene sparked interaction among Egyptians on social media, where the gesture received attention and praise, as an expression of the presence of the Egyptian song outside the borders of the Arab region, and its ability to reach audiences from different cultures.

In Malaysia, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim caught attention after he published pictures related to President Sisi’s reception on his account on the Instagram platform, accompanied by the song “Tamli Maak” by Amr Diab, one of the famous songs in the Arab world.

The choice of the song added an artistic character to the publication accompanying the visit, and also opened the way for Egyptians to interact with the use of a famous Egyptian singing work in a context related to relations between Cairo and Kuala Lumpur.

The scenes associated with the two songs aroused interest and praise among Egyptian followers on social media, in an expression of pride in the spread of Egyptian art and its presence at international events, and the means of cultural communication between peoples.

Between Korean children performing an Egyptian song in Arabic, and the Prime Minister of Malaysia choosing a song by Amr Diab to accompany the reception photos, Egyptian music was present at two Asian stations, adding a cultural dimension to the scenes of diplomatic communication, and highlighting the extension of the influence of the Egyptian song outside the Arab region.
