Ragheb Alama | راغب علامة

A huge advertising campaign was launched for the event under the title of “Lailet Eid” (A Holiday Night).

Ragheb sang alongside a popular female Mauritanian singer, and a number of Mauritanian citizens expressed their excitement, and stated that they were very grateful to Ragheb for holding the concert, despite the unfortunate events their country has recently faced.

Ragheb declared that he was honored to perform in Mauritania, and hopes that the overturn of power that occurred less than a month ago will come to a peaceful resolution.

Alama denied circulating rumors that he intends to pair up with controversial Lebanese singer Maria to sing a duet.

The singer’s managing office released a statement denying the rumor, adding that the only thing that had connected Ragheb to Maria was a recent concert in which both had performed.

Ragheb’s office added that the two performing at the same concert does not necessarily imply they will sing a duet, in addition to the fact that Ragheb does not have the time or the desire to pair up with another singer at the moment, reported the London based Elaph.
