Underground music has been gaining attention in Egypt over the past couple of years. Bands are being formed, and artists are evolving across Arab countries, with many of them performing concerts. For this reason, we’d like to shed some light on them so you can enjoy your days with their music.

Hawas
From our motherland, Hawas is an independent Egyptian band that was formed in 2014. Their music has its own alternative oriental funk twist. Producing their music independently, they just released “El Bahr Ally” a few days ago, and they entertained their fans by singing it live for the first time at Zamalek Theater. They’re a band of their word, and they sang 16 songs along with their latest release!
Check their Facebook page and their YouTube channel and enjoy listening to their unique melodies.

Known in the music industry as The Synaptik, Palestinian-Jordanian Laith Hasan has been gaining recognition in the Arab world.

That can mark a huge step in any artist’s journey, so we cannot wait to see what he churns out next.

Akher Zapheer
You may have come across this name or the band’s music. But, even if you haven’t, you might have heard about the band’s iconic performance in Egypt at Red Bull SoundClash 2019.
From Jordan, Akher Zapheer has been entertaining us with its rock music since 2007 and has made us realise that Jordan sure raises some incredible talents. The band recently held a show in Cairo at the Zamalek Theater.
By now, you must be excited to attend one of its concerts, but until then, you can visit its YouTube channel and stay tuned via the band’s Instagram account.
