about
Ali El-Haggar is a singer. During his early childhood, his father - the late singer and composer Ibrahim El-Haggar - taught him the principles of Arabic music. He was exposed to different types of Arabic songs, such as the works of Oum Kalthoum, Mohmmed Abdel-Wahab, Zakaria Ahmed, Sayed Darwish, and many others. The main goal of his father at this stage was to give his son an in-depth understanding of the different musical forms. At a young age, Ali El-Haggar learnt to recite the Quran; that was considered a valued addition that helped him with clear articulation and breathing. In 1977 his talent was professionally discovered by the late composer Baligh Hamdy, who introduced him publicly on New Year's Eve with his song “Ala Ad Ma Habbena”, with lyrics by the late poet Abdel-Rehim Mansoor; after listening to him singing in a musical programme in the Egyptian television.
