Shaabi
Shaabi (, ; ) is an Egyptian musical genre. It is a form of popular working-class music which evolved from Egyptian Baladi in the second half of the 20th century and the core of Egyptian popular
Mahraganat#
The most recent new development to come out of Cairo’s Shaabi scene is mahraganat () music, also known as “electro-shaabi” in the West. However the performers use mahraganat (meaning a big, loud, messy event; and a festival) to distinguish themselves from sha’bi. The best-known artists in this genre are Felo, Oka Wi Ortega, Sadat, Figo, Alaa 50 Cent, Shehta Karika, and Islam Chipsy (although Chipsy does not associate him with mahraganat, as his music is more instrumental).
