While we’re not in the habit of spoiling Ramadan
specials, ‘Al Ikhtiyar 2’ has been the catalyst of so much national
discussion that it seems almost redundant to hide anything. That said,
we couldn’t hide Mohamed Mounir’s new song, ‘Dahlin’, even if we tried - particularly with how it was
used in the series, bringing a deep, complex emotional dimension to a
climactic scene that was already heartwrenching enough. We all knew the
Oasis Martyrs lost their lives in the line of duty. But watching it
happen before our eyes while Mounir’s somber serenade played throughout,
turning regret and sorrow into hope, was something else entirely.
Mounir
collaborated with Egypt’s top talents to create a piece he felt would
bring justice to these fallen soldiers. Poet Nasr El Din Nagy
masterminded the poignant lyrics, while composer Ahmed Farhat brought
the music to life.
