Whenever she passes by the waterways, the sound of music calls out to her, and when she opens her window, the singing of birds over mulberry trees meets her, taking her soul to the tunes.
The musicians call her, and the musicians inhabit her path, sitting in her heart as if they were whirling dervishes in a male circle .. She is the Upper Egyptian singer Azza Yasser, whose hope and the stage were elusive, but her voice blew up the cells of his prison and went out to the light ascetic.
"Azza" is the 25-year-old singer of the Orchestra of the Ministry of Youth and Sports. She is a daughter of Sohag Governorate, who has sworn to restore the Egyptian musical heritage to glory.
Azza Yasser graduated from Ain Shams University, Faculty of Law. After her dream was to study at the Institute of Arabic Music, circumstances prevented them from doing so, so she only had to accept.
The people of Upper Egypt consider, according to their culture, that their daughters are like jewels and pearls, who were created to hide and keep away from any mischievous path, so their consent to their daughter's contact with singing was something that needs much thought and reconsideration, but they felt her talent and appreciated her attachment to singing, and that this love could not be uprooted. Its roots.
Her family actually encouraged her, but her voice was limited in the beginning to the official school singing events, and from the school he found comfort in the singing team at the Faculty of Law, then the Ain Shams University team and even the orchestra of the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
The orchestra singer is considered a "nostalgic" girl, as she prefers only heritage songs, and thinks that she is very appropriate for her voice, and considers that old songs demonstrate the competence of the talented singer over others.
Azza tells "First Page" "that she decided to produce songs for herself, but she did not find anyone to write for her authentic words that reveal the minerals of the sounds:" Unfortunately, most of the needs that were presented to me, I like them because they have a new character, easy songs in melody and speech, and I am waiting for something. For her to be real. "
The female orchestra singer gets rid of singing, and considers it the only thing she does when she is very satisfied with herself, and she prefers the songs of the heritage Abdel Wahab, Warda, Fayza Ahmed and Umm Kulthum. She also loves the ancient popular singing folklore, and listens to its leading singers, such as Houria Hassan, Jamalat Shiha and Khadra Muhammad Khidr.
"Azza" describes her singing in front of the Minister of Youth and Sports, Engineer Khaled Abdel Aziz, the former minister, and Dr. Ashraf Sobhi as a great honor. She participated in a ceremony held to celebrate the police holidays at the Jazirah Youth Center.
And the Spring Festival celebration at the Press Syndicate headquarters, the protocol ceremony of the Ministry of Youth and Sports and the Police Academy at the Ministry’s theater.
She also won many prizes that started from the school’s queue, the first place award in the choir of the fourth Ibdaa Festival, with her participation with Ain Shams University, and the best singer award at the governorate level for several consecutive times in competitions organized by youth centers.
The Upper Egypt singer regrets the singing situation during the current time: "Unfortunately, the singing is now based on talent and the sweetness of the voice. There are many standards left that do not have anything to do with art ... form, clothing and mediocrity."
It also calls for the support of talented young people, both psychological and financial, and taking them to the right path so that they do not follow the negligence to spread their reputation.
Thanks to her professor and educator Mahmoud Wahid, "Azza" recognizes the Maestro of Ain Shams University, who played a major role in shaping her talent and development and worked on the independence of her singing character, so that she could form a singing point of view without being concerned with tradition.
She was also grateful to Dr. Amal Gamal Suleiman, as well as the Ministry of Youth and Sports and everyone who gave her the opportunity to stand on the stage and make her sing from her heart, and her great life's wish remains to sing in the Egyptian Opera House.
The orchestra singer objects to the decline of public taste, and seeks to present a real and purposeful art that restores this taste, and for every talented person to take his chance. And she concludes, saying: "My soul is not in the medium of favoritism and other considerations. My soul, every one of us takes a chance seriously, because a real painful one who has talents is buried alive and sees their dream being stolen from people who do not know what art and talent mean."
