Written by . Published: August 03 2014
Enrique Iglesias is to become the first U.S. recording artist to perform in Egypt since President Hosni Mubarak was removed from power amid a series of violent uprisings.
The Grammy Award-winning Hero singer will perform at the AMER 5 Star Resorts Golf Porto Marina in the shadow of the Pyramids of Giza on 9 August (14).
He says, "I am excited to debut my new album in Egypt. It is the
perfect place to let the universal language of music help people
unite for peace and prosperity and share the joy of the moment, and
each other.
"I hope my music will help bring back good memories and create
great new ones. This performance is meant to be a positive
experience for everyone."
