cairokee

Cairokee, a name that blends Cairo and karaoke to symbolize their voice as the “soundtrack of Cairo,” emerged from the heart of Egypt’s capital. The band’s journey began in 2003, but it was the Egyptian Revolution of 2011 that catapulted them into the limelight. Their music, characterized by its poignant lyrics and stirring melodies, became the voice of a generation yearning for change.

The band consists of Amir Eid on vocals, Sherif Hawary on guitar, Tamer Hashem on drums, Sherif Mostafa on keyboards, and Adam El-Alfy on bass. Together, they create a sound that is both unique and familiar, drawing on influences from global rock legends while staying true to their Egyptian roots.

Cairokee’s songs are more than just music; they are a narrative of resilience and hope. Tracks like “Sout El Horeya” and “Ya El Midan” have become more than hits—they are the anthems of a movement, echoing the desires and struggles of the Egyptian people.

With each album, Cairokee continues to evolve, addressing social issues and reflecting the pulse of Egyptian society. Their commitment to authenticity and their ability to articulate the collective consciousness of their audience have solidified their status as one of Egypt’s most influential contemporary bands. Their music is not only heard; it is felt and lived by those who find solace and strength in their words. Cairokee remains a beacon of artistic integrity and a testament to the power of music as a force for societal reflection and change.
