Mohamed Hassan (Arabic: محمد حسن, c. 1944 – 17 December 2017)[1] was a Libyan singer and composer who rose to fame in Libya and North Africa in the early 1970s for his patriotic and Pan-Arabic songs.

His musical career began in the 1960s when he joined the choir of the Libyan Radio Company and he published his first song in June, 1970.

The song was political in nature and celebrated Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's expulsion of foreign military bases from the country.

[2][4] He was the most prominent member of a circle of popular singers who would propagandise for Gaddafi's regime by producing patriotic songs that celebrated his achievements as a revolutionary and glorified him.

This lead many to accuse Hassan of favouring Gaddafi's side and this made producers shun him after the Rebel victory, temporarily putting his musical career on hold.
