Born on February 12, 1962 in Al Minya, Egypt, Hakim is a singer whose brand of African music features influences such as sha’abi, folk, belly dance and al jeel.

At 14 years old he formed a band and started performing at parties and school functions. Years later he moved to Cairo with the goal of making it as a professional singer. With so many hits to his name, including “El Salam” Hakim is today revered the world over as the “King of Sha’abi music”. Read more on Wikipedia...
