Dr. Mohamed Abdullah, the spokesperson for the Syndicate of Musical Professions and the union’s undersecretary, expressed his dissatisfaction with the recent invitations on social media, which demands the deletion of the songs of the late artist Ahmed Amer, from digital platforms, considering these claims a human crime against the artist and his history.
Abdullah said in a statement: We followed during the past few days the invitations of some people to delete the songs of the late artist Ahmed Amer from digital platforms, claiming that they are not appropriate to remain published after his death.
And he considered that such calls involve a great contradiction, asking: How is the artist’s work being listened to alive, then demanding that they be deleted after his departure? If some believe that singing and music is forbidden, then why are it practiced throughout the artist’s life? And why is deletion considered repentance only after death? And why do some hear it and then demand its removal, as if it confirms that the profession of singing and music is forbidden?
He emphasized that the demand to delete artistic works by a late artist is an infringement of his humanitarian and artistic right, and ignored the long journey that he had left an impact on the conscience of his fans, adding that art is not erased by death, but rather remains a witness to a human journey and a technical journey that has its value.
He called for rethinking these calls, describing them as illogical, affecting the value of man and the artist after his death, and lacks the mercy that we claim to wish for him.
