“Mawazine” allows us to meet Umm Kulthum twice

The organizers of the “Mawazine Festival… Rhythms of the World” announced in its 19th session that they would organize a second evening for the late singer Umm Kulthum’s concert using “hologram” technology, after the latter’s great turnout from Moroccan audiences.

This announcement comes two weeks after the launch of the artistic demonstration that has an international radiance, as voices rose calling for the programming of a second date for the Kawkab Al-Sharq concert, which has a large fan base in Morocco among lovers of classical singing, after all tickets were sold out.

A few hours after it was released on the official platforms, all tickets for the new date were sold out and the windows were closed, despite the great controversy that arose on social media regarding the prices, which were described as high, as they exceeded a thousand dirhams.

Fans of the singer Umm Kulthum will meet her artistic evening using the “hologram” technology on the 25th of this month on the stage of the Mohammed V Theater in Rabat, which presents selected programming from the most prominent stars of Arab music and prominent artistic names.

This is not the first time that “hologram” technology has been used to re-present Umm Kulthum’s evening concerts. In 2019, a similar concert was held at the Dubai Opera House, then two concerts in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, before Morocco was chosen for the first time to live this event. The unique experience.

It is worth noting that “hologram” is a technology that allows the creation of three-dimensional images using laser beams, so that the image floats in the air as a gelatinous body containing a spectrum of colors to be embodied in the shape to be displayed, using a laser device, a beam splitter, lenses and mirrors, in addition to a “holographic” film.

This technology works through a collision between light waves and the thing that the user wants to photograph and display. This allows users to view objects and see them from all directions as if they were real objects.
