FOF København og Copenhagen World Music Festival inviterer til højaktuel debat om censur og kunstnerisk frihed. I et unikt debatformat, som starter ”off-stage” blandt publikum og kulminerer med en paneldebat, tager moderator og tidligere DR-journalist Ole Reitov publikum med på en mental og følelsesmæssig rejse, hvor man vil opleve, hvad kunstnerisk frihed og tabet af samme betyder for kunstneren, for en nation, for et folk!

Den egyptiske musiker og komponist Ramy Essam, som mange nok kender fra sangen »Irhal«, der betragtes som den egyptiske revolutions (2011) egentlig hymne. Hans musik blev soundtracket til en hel generation af hans landsmænd og kvinder, der kæmpede for et bedre liv og et mere retfærdigt samfund. Han lever nu i eksil.

FOF København and the Copenhagen World Music Festival invite you to a highly topical debate on censorship and artistic freedom of expression, followed by a concert with Ramy Essam band Egypten & Oriental Mood with Fatma Zidan featuring Bilal Irshed.
In a unique debate format that starts off-stage among the audience and culminates with a panel debate, moderator and former Danish Broadcasting Company (DR) journalist Ole Reitove takes the audience on an intellectual and emotional journey where participants will experience what artistic freedom of expression, and the loss of it, means to the artist, to a nation and to the people.

His music became the soundtrack for an entire generation of his fellow Egyptians who struggled to attain a better quality of life and a more just society. He now lives in exile.
