China Media Group (CMG) brought vibrant Lunar New Year energy to Africa last Friday with its “Prelude to the Spring Festival Gala” event in Cairo. Over 200 Egyptian and Chinese leaders, academics, and media representatives gathered to celebrate cultural ties ahead of the 2026 Spring Festival Gala, showcasing traditional music 🎶, dance, and collaborative performances.
The event highlighted Egypt’s role as a key partner in China’s global cultural outreach. Attendees previewed highlights from CMG’s upcoming gala, which will broadcast worldwide on February 18. A joint Egyptian-Chinese orchestra performance of “The Jasmine Flower” blended guzheng and oud melodies, earning a standing ovation 👏.
With over 50 countries now participating in CMG’s Spring Festival initiatives, this year’s gala promises to be the most globally connected edition yet. Stay tuned for dragon dances 🐉, AI-powered stage designs, and surprise celebrity collabs when the main event airs!
