A Refugee From His Own Country's Hostile Anti-Modern Policies He Steadily Made A Name For Himself As Egypt's Leading Champion Of Westernized Synthesizer Pop Known As Al-Jil Generation Music . More A Deft Blending Of Sounds Than A Simple Music Importation Al-Jil Has All The Dance Appeal An Array Of Samplers And Synths Can Serve Up Tempered By A Distinctively Middle Eastern Melodic Sound. His 1988 Hit Single "Lolaiki " Recorded With Ali Hamaida Is Said To Have Sold More Than A Million Cassettes Between 1988 And 1899. Although The Establishment Turns Its Nose Up At Al-Jil It Clearly Has A Wide And Enduring Appeal. ~ Leon Jackson All Music Guide
