Egyptian music has always had its impact, starting with Abdelhalim Hafez and Um Kulthoum until today. However, every era has its own style and evolution of music, and it’s impressive how far-reaching Egyptian music is. It seems like our music production isn’t only appreciated in Egypt—it swims across oceans easily and blends well with international music.
Here, we’ve come across a bunch of Egyptian/American remixes that we NEED to share with you right now!
Ed Sheeran ft. Amr Diab – Shape of You & Dayman Fi Bali by Tony Production
This remix has been popping up on Facebook lately, and we’d like to shed light on it because, well, who doesn’t appreciate Amr Diab’s old nostalgic music? Tony Production did and so decided to mix El Hadaba’s “Dayman Fi Bali” with Ed Sheeran’s famous hit, “Shape of You”.
On a side note, this song was amongst Diab’s album, “Leily Nahary”, which was released in—wait, are you ready to get hit with this fact? That album was released in 2004, and it’s still amazing! So if you haven’t come across this remix, click here, and listen to it on your car ride at night.

Michael Jackson – Beat It (Arab Version)
Before we get into it, we’d like to share something with you. Do you remember vines? It’s not a problem if you don’t, we’ll remind you. Vine was a social medium that relied on short-form video hosting, and it was widely used back in 2013. If it’s any help, its logo was a green square that had a capital V in the middle of it.
So why are we reminding you of this? Well, because this remix of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” was first introduced on Vine. If you need to give it a listen to jog your memory, here it is. And by the way, many people still love listening to it today!

Issam Alnajjar - Hadal Ahebek
17-year-old Jordanian Issam Alnajjar is blowing our minds with his TikTok famous song, “Hadal Ahebek”! We’re pretty sure it has spread between Arabs and outside their regions as well. His song got first introduced to us in Arabic in the Jordanian dialect. A month later, Issam Alnajjar teamed up with Loud Luxury and Ali Gatie, and “Turning Me Up” (Hadal Ahebek) was released in English!
That’s not where it stopped. Another remix was released with Elite’s star, Danna Paola, in Spanish. Don’t you feel proud of your natural Arabic speaking skills? Now, you can sing along!

Måneskin - Beggin’ (Remix) by Tony Production
Here’s another remix by Tony Production: “Beggin’” by Måneskin—and we can assure you that it has gone as far as the USA!

Underrated artists and musical geniuses are all around us, and we should definitely give them a push to keep going. They’re making us proud, wherever the location.
Here is the remix, and don’t forget to play it on your happiest occasions!
