Kuwait City, 30 Aug (KUNA) — The “Summer Cultural 18” festival, organized by the National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters (NCCAL) over the past several weeks, concluded today on Sunday with a musical evening titled “Arab Stars Singing in Love for Kuwait,” held at the Drama Hall of Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Cultural Centre.
The evening evoked a segment of Kuwait’s artistic memory and highlighted musical works associated with love for the country and its cherished place in the hearts of Arab artists and the Kuwaiti public. Over the decades, Kuwait has hosted the voices of Arab singers who shaped the history of Arabic music and etched their names into the consciousness of successive generations.
The program recalled several iconic works performed by prominent Arab vocalists, including Umm Kulthum, the “Star of the East”; Fairuz al-Atrash, the “King of the Oud”; Abdel Halim Hafez, the “Nightingale”; Fairuz; and Najat al-Sagheera. It also featured performances by numerous Arab artists expressing their affection for Kuwait and appreciation for its stature.
The evening was brought to life by artists Abdulaziz Al-Musbah and Saud Al-Faiz, with the musical band conducted by Maestro Dr. Mohammed Al-Bajayan, amid an audience that enthusiastically engaged with the artistic segments.
The musical evening reflected a facet of the cultural and artistic relationship that has linked Kuwait with its Arab brother nations over decades, contributing to the enhancement of cultural and artistic exchange through music and song.
The conclusion of “Summer Cultural 18,” which launched on the 5th of this month, crowned a diverse cultural and artistic program presented by the festival to the public throughout its run. The event included activities and programs targeting various age groups, in line with NCCAL’s commitment to strengthening cultural and artistic presence and providing spaces for creativity and community engagement.
