Be it blasting through your taxi driver’s speakers or playing loudly at your cousin’s wedding, Mahraganat is the genre that has taken over most of Egypt and arguably most of the region as well.
Always on everyone’s lips (and not always for the right reason), Mahraganat’s craze has spread at an incredible pace with constant overarching controversies, usually spearheaded by the now-retired singer Hany Shaker, always boosting its popularity a little further.
Each track constantly reaches a handful of millions of views within hours making Mahraganat one of the Arab World’s most listened-to genres.
For that reason, we’ve put together a small playlist to introduce to some the new wave of music that is making everyone want to rub shoulders and tap-toes all night.
