Baligh Hamdi (7 October 1931 - 17 September 1993) was an Egyptian
composer who created hit songs for many prominent Arabic singers,
especially during the 1960s and 1970s; he frequently said that he drew
upon musical ideas and aesthetics in
Egyptian folk melodies and rhythms in composing his songs. He also drew
on ideas that were floating around in the contemporary music of his
time. His sound has a classical flavor due to the heavy use of the
string orchestra. But he also made some use of electronic keyboards and
guitars in harmony with the strings, or alternating with the strings, in
many songs.
