Electro Chaabi

Hind Meddeb - Focus mahraganat

2013

In the 2000s, a new musical scene set the youth of Cairo’s working-class neighbourhoods alight: mahraganat—also known as electro chaabi—a style blending Egyptian popular song, electronic beats and rap-like freestyles. Shot handheld by filmmaker Hind Meddeb (Paris Stalingrad, 2019), artists recount, through the streets and celebrations of the megacity, the emergence and rise of a movement that has become an outlet for youngsters constrained by the prohibitions imposed by Egyptian society.

En partenariat avec l'Alcazar-BMVR.

A programme supported through the partnership between the Institut français d'Egypte and the SUD Provence-Alpes-Côtes d'Azur Region.
