محمد عبد الوهاب
مطرب و عازف عود مصري ، يشتهر محمد عبد الوهاب بابتكاراته و مؤلفاته الموسيقية المختارة بعناية.
ولد في القاهرة عام 1907، لم يعزف و يغني و يؤلف فقط ، ولكنه ايضا مثل في القليل من الأفلام المصرية.
كان الرائد في إدخال الألحان الغربية الى الموسيقى العربية و واصل في الأداء و التأليف حتى نهاية حياته عندما كان في الثمانينات من عمره.
تعرض عبد الوهاب للانتقاد بسبب ادخاله للنغمات و الألحان الغربية، لكن أسلوبه في المزج بين الأسلوبين الغربي و الشرقي للموسيقى ساهم في إثراء الأدوار التي يؤديها الفنان في الموسيقى العربية.
لم يبتعد عن أي أسلوب، وبأذنه الثاقبة كان قادرا على المزج بين الموسيقى المؤسسة و الناشئة و الموسيقى العربية.
في 1941، دمج الفالس في أغنية الجوندول و أدخل موسيقى الروك و الرول الى يا قلبي يا خالي للمغني عبد الحليم حافظ.
تمكن عبد الوهاب بكل سهولة من دمج ألحان المامبو، الرومبا، التانجو، و السامبا مع الأساليب العربية التقليدية مثل بلدي و مقسوم.
أدخل أيضا الأدوات الغربية الى الاوركسترا الخاصة به مثل الأكورديون، الجيتار، الباس، الأرغن والسِنثسَيزر.
بدأ مهنته الغنائية في عمر الثالثة عشر، قام محمد عبد الوهاب بتأليف آلاف الأغنيات و غنى مئات الأغاني بنفسه.
حتى إنه ألف موسيقى النشيد الوطني لمملكة ليبيا "يا بلادي".
عمل كممثل في العصر الصامت للأفلام المصرية، لكنه ترك التمثيل في الخمسينيات لكي يلتفت الى مهنته في الغناء.
كتب عشرات الأغاني لملكة الموسيقى المصرية أم كلثوم، و قام بتعريف بعض المطربين مثل ليلى مراد في أفلامه.
مات في الثمانينات من عمره جراء أزمة قلبية، و تعرض ممتلكاته في المعهد الموسيقي في القاهرة.
يقف تمثال له الآن في ساحة باب شعيرية تكريما له.

MOHAMED ABDEL WAHAB
An accomplished Egyptian singer and oud player, Mohamed Abdel Wahab is known for his innovations and exquisite musical compositions. Born in Caro in 1907, he not only played, sang, and composed; he also acted in a few Egyptian movies. A pioneer, he incorporated Western rhythms into Arab music and continued to perform and compose towards the end of his life when he was in his 80s.
Abdel Wahab was criticized for his introduction of Western beats and rhythms, but his style of blending Eastern and Western styles of music has contributed to a richer repertoire in Arab music. He shied away from no style, and with a keen ear was able to blend established and emerging music trends into Arab music. In 1941he merged the waltz into the song Al Gondol and incorporated rock and roll rhythms into Ya Albi Ya Khali for the singer Abdel Halim Hafez. Abdel Wahab easily merged mambo, rumba, tango, and samba rhythms with traditional Arab styles like the baladi and maqsoum. He also incorporated Western instruments into his orchestras like the accordion, guitar, bass, organ and synthesizer. Beginning his professional singing career at the age of 13, Mohamed Abdel Wahab composed thousands of songs and sang hundreds himself. He even composed the national anthem of the Kingdom of Libya, “Ya Beladi” (Oh My Country).
He worked as an actor from the silent-era of Egyptian movies, but left in the 1950s to focus on his singing career. He wrote ten songs for the Queen of Egyptian music, Umm Kulthum; and he introduced singers like Leila Mourad in his films. He died in his eighties from a heart attack, and his belongings are featured in Cairo in the Music Institute. A statue now stands in the Bab El-Sheriya Square in honor of him.
