After Egyptian singer Ehab Tawfiq separated from the production company ‘Rotana,’ several other singers began thinking to leaving as well, especially since many of the singers believe their popularity has decreased since they joined the company.
According to the Qatar based daily, Al Raya, one of the major singers who might leave ‘Rotana’ is prominent Iraqi singer Kathem El Saher, who has faced a number of disputes with the regional director for the company since last year.
A recent concert held by Ehab in one of the biggest shopping centers in Bahrain, gave rise to opposition from local residents. Chaos erupted after one of the residents stopped traffic, forbidding fans to attend the concert and causing minor car accidents.
Angry residents stressed that they do not want concerts to be held in their neighborhood considering them to be against their ethics and unsuitable to their traditions. Mobs of residents held posters and chanted slogans in opposition to the concert.
