Kinzy Diab Instagram – The scent of jasmine and freshly brewed coffee hung heavy in the Cairo air, clinging to her even in her mind’s eye. As a child, @kinzydiab, co-founder of @hayaty.diaries and YUNG’s Redefining Power’s fourth cover star, moved to a different rhythm. Her world was a place where melodies flowed, colors sparked conversations – her childhood defined by a steady undercurrent of art and expression. “I wouldn’t say that there is a particular moment that inspired me,” she reflects, “I think that what has always fascinated me is that his songs hold such a specific place in my memory.” The “he” is, of course, the legendary Amr Diab, who was unknowingly composing the score to her most precious memories. Those memories, it turned out, weren’t just her own.
“I’ve had friends tell me when they remember dancing to “Amarain” with their grandmother in the kitchen of the house they grew up in or that “We Malo” was the song for their first dance,” she says. “It’s incredibly beautiful and inspiring to see how my personal experiences with my dad and his songs resonate with millions of others in different iterations…that thread of memory and emotion carried through his music that connects us.”
