WATCH: كايروكي - وانا مع نفسي قاعد Cairokee - Wana Maa Nafsy Aed

Cairokee might as well be Egypt's most real band, their music is so heavenly good and their lyrics are loaded with meanings and beauty. Their second album is due soon, and they have a music video to get their fans and they are an excited.

The music video is pretty clever and presents something we rarely see in Arabic music video, personal struggle with demons. People with masks, the video does have a French feel to it and so does the get go music. This is a change for the band whose last songs were political and social, this time they are going for personal and life.

I have three cheers here, the first and the second go to the director of the picture, the same person who also wrote the lyrics--Amir Eid who chose the Egyptian city of Maadi to film his music video.
 كايروكي - وانا مع نفسي قاعد Cairokee - Wana Maa Nafsy Aed. And of course the cheer for music goes to Ciarokee for crafting this gem.

Consider this a song about the world famous hamster wheel and the dull routine that most of us live through on daily basis. Cannot wait to check out the album, I only wish Cairokee was given a permission to perform in the stadium as they had planned. I do not think the SCAF, that runs Egypt at the moment likes them very much.

This video was directed by Amir Eid in 2012 and was filmed in streets of Maadi. Music video by Cairokee. (C) 2012 Cairokee Productions.
