Electro Chaabi (2013)

Fanni Zahár’s Curation Weekend kicks off with a free film screening that will present a work that has some connections to the theme of the weekend and which explores the music of North Africa. Directed by Hind Meddeb, this 2013 music documentary showcases the underground scene in the suburbs of Cairo and electro chaabi, a popular form of local music. This raw and dirty music played at street parties and weddings was inspired by the spirit of punk and mixes a hip-hop attitude with local traditions and electronic beats. In the midst of corruption and social segregation, the young people in the Cairo slums dance the night away to electro chaabi.
