Egyptian producer and vocalist Alemam Elghandour is bringing Arabic souls and Afro-House rhythm to the global dance floor with his latest release, Helwa El Dinya ( “The World Is Beautiful”), captures that duality of ancient melodies meeting modern pulse, emotion meeting energy.
Backed by Manoush Records, in collaboration with Believe Malaysia and Eventskl, Alemam’s Helwa El Dinya Tour kicked off in Malaysia with four explosive shows — Dejavu Club KL, Nostalgigyeah, The Gemini Party, and 808 Club Kuala Lumpur.
Now, the next chapter takes him across Malaysia, Pakistan, and Egypt, marking his long-awaited homecoming.

Helwa El Dinya was born under the Kuala Lumpur rain — Arabic melodies drifting from one venue, Afro-House from another. That unexpected harmony became the spark. “The world is beautiful,” he says, “even when it’s chaotic.”
Alemam’s sound wasn’t planned, rather it happened. Egyptian records at home, Afro-House in Malaysia’s clubs, Amapiano in Pakistan’s festivals — somewhere between those worlds, he found his rhythm. “There’s a shared heartbeat between Arabic percussion and African rhythm,” Alemam explains. “Both celebrate movement and spirituality.”

In Kuala Lumpur, he dropped an Arabic vocal over an Afro-House beat — and the room erupted. “People from every background sang along to words they’d never heard,” he recalls. “That’s when I knew it was bigger than music.”
Before every session, he lights incense. The oud sneak into his tracks, layered beneath synths. “It’s not about perfection,” he says. “It’s about soul and imperfections that make the track feel alive,” he adds.

Every city gives him something different. “Pakistan’s crowds are wild — I’ve played shows there with over 15,000 people,” he says. “Kuala Lumpur’s energy is open and full of love for new sounds.” And Egypt? “I haven’t performed there yet — but that moment’s coming. Cairo’s nostalgia has always inspired me. That show will be personal.”
For Alemam, Afro-Arabic fusion isn’t a gimmick — it’s the beginning of something bigger. “Afro sounds have already taken over the world,” he says. “Arabic melodies are timeless. The fusion of both is inevitable — it just needs to be done authentically.”

This November, he launches Part 2 of the Helwa El Dinya Tour and drops a new album with artists from Malaysia, Pakistan, Egypt, and Morocco. Expect emotion, rhythm, and four languages — English, Arabic, Urdu, and Hindi — woven into one story. “I want 2025 to be the year this sound truly steps onto the global stage,” Alemam says.
