Youssra El-Hawary

Accordionist Youssra El-Hawary and her band are set to perform at Cairo's ROOM Cafe on Tuesday 3 January.

El-Hawary took the music scene by storm in 2012 with her hit single El-Soor, which discussed the Egyptian army's concrete barricades that had then started to criss-cross downtown Cairo.

Since then, the accordionist and her band have given several concerts in Cairo and Alexandria and have participated in festivals abroad.

She also hosted a weekly radio show in 2014 named Aadet Mazzika on local commercial radio station Nogoum FM, which aimed to highlight local independent musicians.

Programme:
Tuesday 3 January, 8.30pm 
ROOM Art Space, 10 Etehaad El-Mohamin St, Garden City, Cairo
