This message came during the public concert performed by Fadel Chaker on Thursday evening at the Katara Open-Air Theater in the Qatari capital, amidst a sold-out attendance and great interaction from the public, in an evening organized by "Qatar Calendar" in cooperation with "Visit Qatar".
Fadel began his appearance by greeting the audience and Doha, saying: "God bless Doha," before pausing at the most prominent moment of the evening, and directing his speech directly to the Emir of Qatar, expressing his gratitude with touching words, as he said: "Allow me to express a word of thanks from the depths of my heart to His Highness the Emir Tamim, who, had it not been for him, I would not have known the taste of freedom. Thank you, Your Highness the Emir."
Fadel's appearance was preceded by the appearance of his son, artist Mohammed Chaker, who opened the evening with a singing segment during which he moved between romantic and rhythmic songs, amid remarkable interaction from the attendees.
For his part, Mohammed was keen to direct a message of thanks to the Emir of Qatar from the stage, saying: "Allow me from this stage to express my thanks to His Highness the Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, who brought joy back to our hearts."
He also performed a number of songs, including "Ya Ghayeb" and "Sahran Habibi," amid enthusiastic atmospheres, before welcoming his father and announcing his ascent to the stage, as the audience's cheers rose to welcome Fadel Chaker.
Fadel Chaker concluded his singing segment amid the interaction of the attendees, presenting a group of his songs that the audience chanted along with him on the Katara stage.
