"After launching the career of Muslim superstar Sami Yusuf, Awakening Records release the debut album for accomplished Swedish producer and singer Maher Zain. Entitled Thank You Allah, Maher Zain’s album effortlessly mixes the sounds of R&B with traditional spiritual, soul and contemporary pop music, not just updating spiritual music and enshad but fearlessly reviving it with contemporary flair. Thank You Allah - now available in Egypt - is an instant classic of great power and timeless, unassailably intense spirituality."

So S&H has done their research on the new singer and we have found it quite interesting, (although Islamic music definitely isn't our forte) that Mr. Zain was the previously working with world renown producer RedOne...Who is known for his work with Lady Gaga, Akon, Michael Jackson, and several other big names...

So instead of hitting the mainstream music scene Maher decided to leave that world behind and get into music that reflects his roots and background more..In early March 2010, the debut album was the No.1 selling album on Amazon (in the world music section)....and already has begun to take the world by storm with concerts in Sweden, Canada, Australia, U.S., London, Egypt and Algeria...

To top it off, Maher will be live in Concert tonight at AUC for the first time...

So Cairo would you be interested in checking him out?
