about
Wagih Aziz made his debut back in 1988 through a theatrical adaptation of Fouad Haddad poems. Over the years, Wagih developed a taste chiefly influenced by two styles, those of Sayyed Darwish and The Rahbanis – an influence that made its way into his own style. Both Wagih's and Darwish's tunes are inspired by and based on their compatriots' concerns and propensity with a spectrum of their strata. While the Rahbanis, above all other Arab experiments, are regarded by Wagih as the model, in terms of the greatest lyrics and melodies. Wagih's melodies rely on words. As for the poets he may sing or melodize their works, he generally favors those whose vocabulary and themes reflect Egyptian culture. Therefore, his favorite Egyptian poet of all times is Salah Jahin, while Ali Salama – who has been known almost through Wagih's works – is his most frequent choice among the contemporary. Socially, Wagih was born to an Upper-Egyptian middle-class family, many of its members exercising artistic hobbies, such as drawing, sculpture and photography. Regarding his own interest in music, Wagih says that he did not intended to be a musician, singer, or even a music lover, and most likely is that music itself is selective with the people it "calls"! Albums Wagih's first album "Bellil" (At Night) was released in 1997, and was produced by the Ministry of Culture. His next album was "Zaalan Shewaya" (A Bit Down), released in 2004. Currently, Wagih is preparing to release his third studio album
