From WikiCover
With the release of her album Love Needs You in spring 2007, Chantal Chamandy shot into the top 100, based on Soundscan's figures for album sales in Canada. In February 2007, her single Feels Like Love climbed the charts only three weeks after its release, reaching 25th spot in the BDS top 50 and 10th spot in the top 25 for the adult contemporary category. The single was certified platinum in 2007.
Announced August 23, 2007, a team from Quebec will be leaving for Cairo in the next few days to produce a unique show on September 7th in front of the pyramids on the Giza plateau. The Egyptian government has granted permission for Chantal Chamandy, Beladi, A Night at the Pyramids, featuring the Cairo Symphony Orchestra, to be presented before an audience of several thousand people.
Montreal singer-songwriter Chantal Chamandy, who is of Egyptian origin, will be performing at this site, accompanied by the Cairo Symphony and her own musicians. She will also be joined by her dancers, along with an Egyptian dance troupe including Ahmed Nabil, principal dancer with the Cairo Opera House Ballet Company.
Chantal Chamandy, who was born in Alexandria, Egypt, and raised in Montreal, saw the possibility of realizing her dream of singing in her homeland before one of the great wonders of the world.
The project's origins date back more than a year when Ninemuse Entertainment's production team sought authorization from the Egyptian government to use this exceptional site.
Chantal Chamandy's concert will be distributed to all of the stations of the PBS network. The show will be available to begin airing in March 2008.
The stage will be set up in front of The Great Pyramid of Giza and the Sphinx, and its dimensions will measure up to grandeur of the site.
