Egypt's leading boy band, which consists of 4 members-all graduates of the Egyptian conservatoire-, has emerged recently to present Egypt and the region with a new music genre. WAMA has just successfully released their second album “Ya Ghaly Alaya” in Feb. 2005…Three videos were shot for the album by the renown director Mr. Tarek Al Arian. The first video is for the hit single "Tehlefly Asada'" which remained on top of the radio charts for 5 consecutive weeks… WAMA second album is considered by all industry experts as a great success…as they are now undeniably the NB. 1 BOY BAND IN EGYPT …
WAMA consists of 4 very talented members:
1- Nader Hamdy( pianist and bass vocals)
2- Ahmed El Shamy(percussionist and bass vocals)
3- Mohamed Nour( violinist and lead vocals)
4 - Ahmed Fahmy(violinist and lead vocals)
All the boys have been musically gifted since they were toddlers. They all came together in the late eighties and became friends while they were studying at the Cairo conservatoire. They grew up with a passion for writing, composing, and singing their own music, besides playing classical music in orchestras all over the world. In 1998, Mohamed Nour and Ahmed Fahmi decided to take their dreams a step further and form their own band. They were then approached by Nader Hamdy and Ahmed Shamy to join the band. Shamy came up with the band's name, which is the first letter of each member's name (W is for Waddour, Nader Hamdy's nickname.)
WAMA was formed in 1999. They wrote their own lyrics and started composing, singing, and arranging their demo tape. The first song they wrote "Hobaha Gowa El Albien" (Her love inside two hearts) was based on the true story of a girl whom both Fahmi and Nour liked! The single was composed by Nour and arranged by Waddour. The title track "Ya Leil" was remixed with a house mix to appeal to the club scene. The track was written in celebration of Ahmed Fahmi's engagement to his long-time girlfriend. Their first album "Ya Leil", which was released in 2003, proved to be a great success and propelled the band to the heights of stardom.
Waddour (Nader Hamdy): Was born on September 17th in Cairo. Waddour is the most reserved member of the band. He likes to keep to himself and lets out his emotions in his arrangement of the band's music. His father was a musician and his mother was an actress. His passion for Piano became evident at an early age and eventually reaped its rewards. His talent became so evident, that famous maestros like Daniel Barenboin asked for him personally to perform in international concerts and take part in classical music competitions. He looks up to Saber El Robai and Abdel Halim Hafez. His aim is to present a new genre to Egypt and the region and hopefully achieve crossover appeal with his music.
Ahmed Shamy:Was born in Cairo on September 12th. Ahmed is very adventurous and outgoing. He lived most of his childhood in Germany, where his father was working. At the age of 10, he moved to Cairo and joined the Conservatoire. His father is the dean of the Conservatoire, which explains Ahmed's early passion for music. At the tender age of Four, Ahmed would spend his day in the kitchen, where he would use the pots and pans as a drum set and serenade the house all day. It is no surprise that since those early days, Ahmed has been passionate about drums and has displayed an overwhelming talent with that instrument. He looks up to Mohamed Mounir and his aim is to elevate his music to a higher, more educated level, and present a new standard for his listeners.
Mohamed Nour: Was born on January 18th in Cairo. His handsome looks and strong physique have made him very popular with the ladies and turned him into an admired heartthrob with the fans. However, his looks do not undermine his passion and talent for music. His love for the violin and the passion of his lyrics are all indications of a very talented artist. Mohamed is one of the founders of the band and is considered the vocal power behind it. His participation at an early age in international concerts, playing alongside big stars like Rachid Taha and Cheb Khaled, has added value and experience and has helped him mature into a serious artist. He looks up to Mohamed Abdel Wahab and Michael Bolton. His goal is to reach people with his music, and with it, reach the heights of fame.
Ahmed Fahmy: Was born on March 17th in Cairo. Ahmed is the romantic and emotional member of the band; his eyes will tell you that. Ahmed, along with Mohamed Nour, was the founder of the band. Besides being the lead vocalist, he also plays the violin, writes lyrics and composes some of WAMA's music. Going from classical music and performing in international concerts, to Arabic pop, was a move that Fahmi has always considered inevitable. He has always been intrigued by Arabic music and the chance to perform in a band with friends that he has known for most of his life, was an opportunity he wasn't going to pass. When he decided to form the band with Nour and noticed the enthusiasm of Shamy and Waddour to take part, it was like a dream come true. He looks up to Abdel Halim Hafez and his goal is that of most talented and respected artists: reach music immortality.

قلت ياريت اليوم ده ماجاش
كان شيء صعب عليّه حقيقي
اعمل نفسي مابعرفهاش
لما قابلتها يوم وانا ماشي
قلت ياريت اليوم ده ماجاش
كان شيء صعب عليّه حقيقي
يومها ماكناش بس اتنين
كان ناس تانية كتير ماشيين
كنت ساعتها في عز الحيرة
لحظة وعدت زي سنين
قلت انا حمشي قوام طوالي
واعمل نفسي مخدتش بالي
بس ازاي يجي يوم واتنكر
من اللي زمان كان كله امالي
هي اكيد كان راح تتألم
لو عديت من غير مااتكلم
وعشان كده انا خدت قراري
لما تقرب اقف واسلم
يومها ماكناش بس اتنين
كان ناس تانية كتير ماشيين
كنت ساعتها في عز الحيرة
لحظة وعدت زي سنين
قلت انا حمشي قوام طوالي
واعمل نفسي مخدتش بالي
بس ازاي يجي يوم واتنكر
من اللي زمان كان كله امالي
لما قابلتها يوم وانا ماشي
قلت ياريت اليوم ده ماجاش
كان شيء صعب عليّه حقيقي
اعمل نفسي مابعرفهاش
لما قابلتها يوم وانا ماشي
قلت ياريت اليوم ده ماجاش
كان شيء صعب عليّه حقيقي
اعمل نفسي مابعرفهاش
يومها ماكناش بس اتنين
كان ناس تانية كتير ماشيين
كنت ساعتها في عز الحيرة
لحظة وعدت زي سنين
قلت انا حمشي قوام طوالي
واعمل نفسي مخدتش بالي
بس ازاي يجي يوم واتنكر
من اللي زمان كان كله امالي
ضاع من قلبي اللي مخوفني
لما شافتني وقلبها شافني
اتبسمت ومديت ايدي
عملت نفسها ولا تعرفني
In the song "Lama Abeltaha" by Wama, the singer talks about running into someone from his past while walking one day. He wishes he had not come across her because it was difficult for him to face the truth about their relationship. He pretended as if he did not know her, even though it was tough for him. At that moment, other people were walking around them, making it difficult for him to decide what to do. He accepts that he will feel sorry for her if they spoke because he knows that he will not be truthful with her. Therefore, he has decided that if they meet again, he will pretend not to know her.
The singer of the song seems to have gone through some kind of pain in the past, which is evinced by his reluctance to face this person. He struggles to confront his emotions and address the relationship's issues. However, he wishes to keep his distance from her to avoid getting hurt again. It is a feeling that many people can relate to, the feeling of not being able to face someone from their past, but instead, trying to forget and move on. The song highlights the struggle of letting go and moving on from a painful relationship.

لما قابلتها يوم وانا ماشي
When I met her one day while walking
قلت ياريت اليوم ده ماجاش
I wished that day never came
كان شيء صعب عليّه حقيقي
It was truly difficult for me
اعمل نفسي مابعرفهاش
I acted like I didn’t know her
يومها ماكناش بس اتنين
That day, it wasn’t just the two of us
كان ناس تانية كتير ماشيين
There were many other people walking around
كنت ساعتها في عز الحيرة
I was very confused at that moment
لحظة وعدت زي سنين
It felt like years passed in one moment
قلت انا حمشي قوام طوالي
I thought to myself, I’ll walk tall
واعمل نفسي مخدتش بالي
And act like I didn’t care
بس ازاي يجي يوم واتنكر
But how could I deny it one day?
من اللي زمان كان كله امالي
From the time when it was all hopes and dreams
هي اكيد كان راح تتألم
She would definitely have been hurt
لو عديت من غير مااتكلم
If I had passed by without speaking to her
وعشان كده انا خدت قراري
That’s why I made my decision
لما تقرب اقف واسلم
That when she approaches, I’ll stand and greet
ضاع من قلبي اللي مخوفني
I lost what scared me from my heart
لما شافتني وقلبها شافني
When she saw me, and her heart saw me
اتبسمت ومديت ايدي
She smiled and extended her hand
عملت نفسها ولا تعرفني
She acted like she didn’t know me
