Ya Tareek is released, Diab's very first album. In 1985 Diab graduates from Cairo Academy of Art. In 1983 Amr records his very first song, El Zaman, (lyrics by Hani Zaki, music by Hani Shnouda) but the recording is a failure. In 1982 Amr arrives in Cairo (direct from Port Said) and enrolls in the High-College for Arabic Music. In 1981 Amr is "approved" (accepted as a professional) by Egyptian Radio and Television. For his efforts, he wins a guitar and receives recognition from the Governor of Port Said. On July 23rd, he makes his first official school appearance at the Festival at Port Said where he visits the local broadcasting station and sings Biladi Biladi (Egypt's national anthem) on Egyptian Radio. In 1967 Amr joins the school band in the Port Said Laissait, his primary school. Abdul himself had a fine singing voice and is credited for encouraging his son to sing His father, Abdul Basset Diab, worked for the Suez Canal Corporation as Chairman of Marine Construction & Shipbuilding. In 1961 Amr Diab is born in Port Said, Egypt on October 11th (Wednesday 1 Jumaada Al-Awwal 1381 A.H.). Each Amr Diab release in this, the first decade of the 21st century, is eagerly anticipated and wildly acclaimed. Now in his forties, he shows no signs of letting up. His fan base is increasingly international, mainly due to his masterful combination of western and Arabic rhythms. His prolific recording career took off in the mid 80's and throughout the 90's he set the standard (and raised the bar) for Arabic sales records. Egyptian singer, Amr Diab, is a superstar of epic proportions in the Arab world.
