Yesterday, the Heliopolis Association in cooperation with The Suzanne Mubarak Women's International Peace Movement presented the Korba International Music Festival titled "One World: Music is the Language of Peace"
The event started around 2:30 pm until 10 pm in Baghdad Street in Korba, Heliopolis.
Here's some info on the event:
Under the theme of “One World”, the Festival celebrated the cultures of many different countries. Numerous embassies shared their arts and crafts, music and food, and participated in a parade of Nations. Among the prominent performers were the great musician, Omar Khairat, “Wist El Balad” band and the famous artist, Taha Alkorany, whose name has been documented in the World’s GuinnessBook of Records for painting “Al Mauled”, the longest painting in the world,which was shown in the Festival.
The Korba street festivals are always a good time!
