Truly a country of failed redditors:
Saudi Arabia is in talks with Hans Zimmer to have the music maestro recreate the Kingdom’s national anthem using different instruments.
Turki Al al-Sheikh, chairman of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA), posted a photo on X with Zimmer and called him “one of the greatest musicians of our time.”

Al-Sheikh said the two discussed several musical projects that could come to fruition soon, including a concert and original composition called Arabia - inspired by Saudi Arabia’s culture and heritage - and the soundtrack for upcoming Saudi film, The Battle of Yarmouk.
Additionally, al-Sheikh hinted at plans for a large-scale Hans Zimmer concert to take place at a future edition of Riyadh Season.
The GEA chief said he sensed Zimmer’s “great admiration” for Saudi Arabia and its people, adding that the Oscar-winning composer promised to visit the Kingdom soon with his family and friends.
