Timeline

2011

Mekawy died on the 11th anniversary of Salah Jahin's death. Of Salah Jahin, he used to say, "We get along like "Assal" with "Tehina", (molasses and sesame paste which always go together).

1956

Touching his audience to the quick, Mekawy in fact, touched on all the important economic, social, intellectual and political issues directly concerning the less privileged classes. Critical of any national shortcoming, he was prompt to deride bureaucracy in his song Al-lstemara Rakba Al-Humara ("The Questionnaire on a Donkey"). But Ha'n hareb ("We Shall Fight"), which came out in 1956, and Al-Ard Bitetkalem Arabi ("The land Speaks Arabic"), composed after 1973, were also true expressions of pride in his country.

1951

What brought him fame, however, was the unforgettable character of al-Missaharati, the man who announces the pre-dawn meal during the month of Ramadan, that he and Fuad Haddad created in 1951. A popular figure during the holy month, the Missaharati was given new life by Haddad's words and Mekawy's music. Composed to the beat of the traditional "Tabla" (Drum), it stirs up feelings of patriotism, nationalism and pride in Arab Muslim culture. The Missaharati represented an entire generation, expressing its suffering, frustrations and dreams. When Al-Missaharati was aired for the first time on the radio, it instantly became a symbol of national aspirations. It continues forty years later to help the faithful keep vigil, exhorting Muslims to rise for their pre-dawn meal.

1927

Sayed Mekawy (May 8, 1927 – April 21, 1997) (Egyptian Arabic: سيد مكاوي ) was an Egyptian singer and composer, popular in Egypt and throughout the Arabic speaking world. Throughout his life, he remained undaunted by modern innovations and the attempts of rivals to produce another type of music. He was best known for his radio collaboration with Fuad Haddad on the character of the Egyptian tradition of El-Misaharati.

Mekawy was born in Cairo Sayeda Zeinab district of Al-Nasriya on May 8, 1927.
