The sons and daughters of Egypt are coming to sing for their country Egypt, they are not singing for politicians leaders nor parties...they are issuing a call for calm and peace, but this call seems coming form the gut, not a mere urge to be out there and capitalize on those troubled times.
The first is by Aziz Al Shafai, the dude who gave us a very upbeat song about the Zamalek sport club, I like his song becasue it's calm and it plays like a prayer. He sounds mature and theme is rather fresh. The vocals actually do a good job telling you one thing, the singer really believe in his words. So he gave us a under three minute track.
Also Hossam L Hossainy, aka Hoss the popular All Egyptian rapper took the time to release a rap track about the demonstrations in Cairo. Naturally, you would think as a rapper he would be in favor of demonstrators, but I am unable to detect that. He does talk about the poverty, corruption, tugs, politicians, blind fellowship and the plight of the people of Egypt. Kudos to hoss for the music accompanying his track. I did not like the preachy part where hoss blames people for all the wrongs in Egypt.

Here is a light hearted song from Egyptian singer Mahmoud El Esseily who took a different take on the demonstrations in Egypt. He is trying to make light of a serious situation, but so many of the protesters themselves. Not clear what the theme for this song, but it seems to be a mockery of the whole situation, titled the pharmacy.
