After his release…an Arab poet and composer sends a message to Fadel Shaker: Your student

“From student to professor

I was raised on your art, your passion and your love for art from the beginning.

From Fairouz to Abdel Halim, and among your masterpieces are your performances of the songs of Warda, Najat, and Baligh Hamdi
To your special art that you created with a sensitive heart and a voice full of authentic singing, a voice that amazed the whole world.

I sang and performed, and presented an artistic career witnessed by everyone, through concerts and tours that left their mark on people’s consciences.

A person goes through the twists and turns of life and its trials, and human and political situations intertwine around him, but those who love you and were raised by your art understand well who you are, and know your heart, your personal positions, your spontaneity, and your principles that have not changed since we knew you.

I and millions of your fans believed you, and believed in you and your innocence from day one, and today God Almighty does justice to you and us after all these years.

Will injustice last? No, by God, God is truth and justice.

We missed you so much, and you enlightened us again, and enlightened the world with your art, your manhood, and your principles.

My teacher, and my art school that I am proud to belong to…

Praise and thanks be to God that I lived in the time of Fadel Shaker.

We love you so much

True art remains a witness to its owners, no matter how long the absence, and no matter how strong the storms.

**Your student.”
