Egyptian storyteller-musicians Like Jelly start their three-month nationwide tour.

The group is made up of young musicians who fuse an acoustic sound with storytelling to comment on Egyptian society and politics and aim to break taboos.

The first stop on the tour was El-Arish in North Sinai, and will be followed by shows in Marsa Alam and Aswan next week. Other performances in Egyptian cities and villages will be announced as the tour takes shape.
