You hear it everywhere—blasting from alleys, rattling taxis, blowing out cell phones and boats on the Nile. It’s funny, but it’s political, too, taking aim at the establishment and granting power to the people in the wake of political upheaval. But most of all, electro shaabi—and its companion mahraganat—is party music: frenetic, youth-driven, beat-oriented. Mixing traditional folk with electro, hip-hop, and whatever else gets the pulse up, this playlist represents the sound of new Egypt.
