recent music discoveries

Some great/enjoyable/interesting maestro della tracks recently heard/found at sndcld ab the gyp e the wider arabic/pseudo-arabic music scene, that with wider exposure would hopefully & thankfully have positive and long anticipated sociological implications because these forms of musical expression (e.g., cross-genre parody and punk) reflect ...(positive social values, for lack of better terms - such as liberation mentality and heightened individualism and its acceptance by society which leads to emergent and thus free and natural historical vectors of advancement/evolution such as a richer economy of ideas creativity and technical innovation - in the absence of freedom of expression).


Next is the first arab/gyp punk song i come across, which i will not embed b/c of its cover image, https://soundcloud.com/haytham-the-band/dhw7fooplwen
moving on to...

and the inevitable,

... a sort of comedy/parody-pop genre particularly from Shermoofet from whom three tracks are included below,

Incidentally, any production quality limitations that can be discerned in these tracks highlight only that sufficient support for this budding/flowering industry is wanting.



These tracks, beside being a reality check for me
on how i compare after yrs of neglect to my music (i don't, and it's due to external obstructions), it was also a sample of the current qlty of alternative contemporary egyptian music ('tis 'tis good!). It's better than expected, and in fact, a lot of fun.
