Wust El Balad
If any band in Cairo has managed to prove that underground bands can have a strong presence in a mainstream market, it's Wust El Balad. Since 1999, the band has been performing, touring, composing, and getting even bigger. Their music has been also featured in some Egyptians films by great directors like Khairy Beshara. The band's music, an amazing blend of sounds, combines traditional Arabic music with a modern and western twist, making their music accessible. After a long wait.
