Electro Chaabi
Long before the 2012 revolution, the frustration and fury of young Egyptians were being expressed on an unlikely platform.
Dir. Hind Meddeb / Egypt/France 2013 / 77 min
Designed to be performed at weddings, electro chaabi is an energetic meshing of dance music, hip hop and more traditional forms, with direct and often funny lyrics about everyday life. Its best-known performers have transcended weddings to become national stars, and as well as creating an indirect portrait of a country in flux, this film by Franco-Tunisian journalist Hind Meddeb explores the consequences of the media attention.
