Aida El Ayoobi: The audience has changed and the artists have to consider the new trend of audience

After a withdrawal of almost 20 years from the field of art and music, Aida El Ayoobi the singing bird returns during the revolution with her patriotic song “Bahebek Ya Baladi” or “I Love You My Country”Aida’s comment on whether or not she had resigned was negative, she had not resigned but when she started singing she was available, her time was not occupied by her many responsibilities she has acquired now being a wife and mother. Aida denied that Egyptian media could be responsible for her disappearance all this time. She added that, for the first time she is occupied by a feeling of total freedom, the liberty to say anything without fear. It is truly a magnificent feeling.When Aida was asked about why she specifically chose to return to singing at this particular moment. She replied that she had never left singing to come back to it. She said that she had always had an interest in singing Sufi and religious music away from all the financial profits. Unfortunately, the Egyptian television during the old regime didn’t give her that space, but now she is at more liberty to sing.Aida involved her children in her new clip of “Bahebek Ya Baladi”. She believes that it is important to include children’s voices and feelings, specifically her children who played a big part in the preparation of the song, and were very much attached to it.Aida’s younger daughter has all the readiness to sing, and Aida herself isn’t objecting to that so long as her daughter can withhold the pressure and demands of such a job.Finally, Aida believes that the revolution has changed the people inside and out. The quality and taste of the audience has inevitably changed as well, and artists have to work on these new changes and present art that matches the new era of audience. Currently, Aida is working on 2 albums, one of them a patriotic album containing all the national songs for Egypt as well as Jerusalem and the other one is a Sufi album.
