Egyptian Despite all the Odds




This might sound like the opening for a Shakira song, there is that heavy guitar and Latin flavor, but this is an indie Egyptian song. The title is Egyptian against my will or Egyptian despite all the odds.

Rock band from Alexandria that presents social problems, As it's name implies it talks about the power imposed on the people. They mix rock, jazz and blues with an oriental touch presenting one of the most unique music in Egypt.

I am digging this new revolution, not only did it bring about political and social change, its rocking the world of Egyptian music, where synthetic pop is no longer the dominate force, there are other musical forces sweeping through that nation. A more democratic musical performance, no longer they are a one man show, it's the world of a band, just like democracy.
