"Boshret Kheir" (Egyptian Arabic: بشرة خير [ˈboʃɾet ˈxeːɾ]; English: "Good Omen") is an Egyptian-folk song created by Egyptian composer Amr Mostafa and performed by Emirati singer Hussain Al Jassmi dedicated from him to Egypt and was released on May 16, 2014, showing clips of Egyptians dancing in different areas of the country, in an effort to unite them and convince them to vote.
Most of the Egyptians depicted hold up posters with phrases such as "vote", "get out there", and "your voice counts".
Despite claims from the ousted Muslim Brotherhood indicating that Egyptians did not participate in large numbers in the subsequent 2014 elections,[1] independent reports[2] indicate that 47.14% of eligible voters participated in the ballot; this is comparable to the 49.62% who turned out in the 2012 election that elevated Mohammed Morsi to power.
When asked why he sang the song, he replied that he wanted to show his great love for the Egyptian People.
The video received more than 5 million views on the day of its release, and was ranked among the top 100 songs internationally.
