A Cairo court is investigating Egyptian artist Mustafa Qamar to see if he still owes unpaid taxes.


He was previously accused of owing 180,000 Egyptian pounds in unpaid taxes to Egyptian tax authorities.  65,000 Egyptian pounds are for his private songs and 115,000 Egyptian pounds for his films.


 Qamar is getting ready to launch his new album this season, produced by “Alam AL Fan” (World OF Art) Production Company.


Qamar worked poets Amir Taymah, Muhammad Atef, Rida Zayed and Amro Al Jarem on the album. He also worked with the composers Rami Jamal, Muhammad Yehya, Amro Mustafa and composed two of the songs himself.
