Cairo,

Egypt

Long-running Egyptian band, fronted by Hany Adel, known for warm, guitar-driven pop-rock that helped define Cairo's 2000s alternative scene.

Wust El Balad formed in Cairo in the late 1990s and became one of the defining acts of Egypt's independent music revival, mixing acoustic-leaning rock with colloquial Egyptian lyrics about everyday city life.
