Popular accordionist and singer Youssra El-Hawary will hold a concert with her band at the Greek Campus in downtown Cairo.

Youssra 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, as well as participating in festivals abroad.

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

Programme:
8.30pm, 25 February
Greek Campus, 28 Falaki street, Bab El-Louk, downtown, Cairo
