The Giza Pyramids area witnessed one of its largest and most unusual musical performances, sparking both praise and controversy.
Acclaimed international electronic musician “Anyma” performed their latest concert, attended by over 15,000 people, including approximately 4,000 Egyptians and 11,000 foreign tourists.
The concert, held at the foot of the pyramids, was performed by Italian-American artist Matteo Milleri, whose Anyma project, combines electronic music, light tricks, and dazzling visual performances, which offers a state-of-the-art experience that blends technology and art at the heart of the oldest archaeological landmark in the world.
A one-of-a-kind experience
In this first for Egypt, Anyma divided the concert into two integrated parts.
The first part, titled “Quantum,” focused on modern electronic music. The second, “Genesis Ending,” featured a state-of-the-art visual spectacle utilizing 3D lighting and giant lighting tricks across two stages and a massive screen, the largest in Egyptian concert history.
According to concert organizer Rabie Moqbel, in an interview with the “al-Hekaya” TV show, over 10,000 foreign tourists arrived in Egypt specifically for the event, while approximately 3,000 Egyptian workers participated in its organization and preparation.
Moqbel noted that the cost of accommodation for foreigners attending the concert amounted to roughly US$20 million, with nights in some hotels costing up to $500, while tickets started at LE 10,000.
The largest screen in the history of concerts in Egypt was used to broadcast the event live.
Controversy
Despite its remarkable success, the concert was not without controversy.
Criticism spread online, with some likening the concert to a “strange ritual”, while others objected to its location within an archaeological site considered one of the most important symbols of Egyptian civilization.
Critics fear these events could harm the historical character of the site, while others defended them as a form of global tourism promotion that reflects Egypt’s ability to host major events in its unique archaeological sites.
