Tamer who! Haifa what! Some mega concerts are totally ignored by the media, like that of Tamer Hosny and Haifa Wehbe

Of course, we sometimes miss one. And of course Caro Emerald is cool and Graffity 6 is new. But there is more culture in the Netherlands than many users of mainstream media realise. Deep into the 1980s, sports halls were already full for Rai musicians, and that was years before Cheb Khaled penetrated the charts with Aïsha. The Cape Verdean community in Rotterdam was in deep mourning a few years back because of the death of fadista Ildo Lobo, whose concerts were attended by thousands in the Netherlands. We read nothing about it in the newspaper, there was no coverage of it on TV.

Soon there will be another one of those concerts. One of those concerts that regular pop jourmalists don't know whether it's good, bad or an outright hoax, but if television recordings are to be believed, Haifa Wehbe and Tamer Hosny are megastars in the Arab world. On 29 January, they might sell out the Heineken Music Hall for prices others usually go to the Rolling Stones for: 250 euros for VIP seats, that's not quite nothing.

What we are curious about: is it what? And what would DWDD do with it?

Herewith the videos, so you can judge for yourself whether the government's ban on the burka will work.
