Hamakki's fans fight piracy

Egyptian singer Mohamed Hamakki has celebrated the success of the second edition of his new album Men Alby Baghany (Singing from my heart) a week after it launched. In an exclusive statement to Arabstoday, Hamakki said: "I expected the success of the album because everyone who took part in it did a great job. We surprised the fans with the new music and the new songs, but I didn't expect it to be this successful on the first week.The album was downloaded millions of times this week!" He added “I want to thank my fans who preferred to buy the original copy of the album. This fights the electronic piracy and  encourages the producers to produce”. Hamakki was criticised when he announced a second edition for his album. “Men Alby Baghany” album consists of 12 songs. In this album, Hamakki worked with many writers, composers and music distributers, including Ayman Bahgat Amar, Khaled Tag el-Deen, Tamer Aly, Amir Teama, Ahmed el-Gendy, Ahmed Salah Hosny, Toma, Mohamed Yehia, Tameem, Hassan el-Shafeay and Khaled Ezz.
