“I was starting a university career that had nothing to do with the media. I never imagined that that day my professional life would take that turn,” says Argentine Baalbaki, who has familial ties to Lebanon. Lasting around an hour and produced by CIRA, the show explores Islamic history, culture, beliefs, philosophy and the community - with many episodes recorded overseas.Baalbaki and Hallar presenting El Calamo in Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires Photo: Courtesy of Leandro Pastene
CIRA secretary-general Hasan El Bacha says the institution funds the programme, owning 100 percent of the production. “The popularity grew daily due to the spread and help from the channel and the brothers and sisters,” 50-year-old El Bacha tells TRT World.“Personally, I was the first Latam correspondent to show the hajj pilgrimage on TV, and El Calamo was the first programme to televise it,” Hallar tells TRT World.
During the show, he also explored Türkiye’s varied landscapes and cultures, visiting the semi-arid region of Cappadocia, observing the varying rock forms from a ride on a hot air balloon and exploring the local town of Avanos’ gastronomy and Istanbul’s numerous bazaars. The move followed prominent European football teams like Chelsea and Aston Villa, who opened their doors for iftar.
