Abdou cherif
Abdou Cherif (also Abdou Chrif, Abdo Sheriff, Abdo Shrif, Abdo Sharif, or in Arabic: عبدو شريف) is a singer native of the Moroccan city of Casablanca. Abdou Cherif is the nephew of Abdelwahab Agoumi, one of the most influential artist in the modernization of Moroccan classical music in the 50s. Following the teachings of his mentor Mahmoud Saâdi (co-founder of the musical phenomenon of the 70s which gave birth to the well-known groups of popular music Nass El Ghiwane and Jil Jilala ), Abdou Cherif saw his dream come true in 1999: to sing at the Khédival Cairo opera house in front of the public of his idol Abdelhalim Hafez. Egyptians gave him the nickname of "the New Nightingale", in reference to the "Brown Nightingale" Abdelhalim Hafez. He is also referred by the Moroccan public as a crooner.
