Shaabi


shaabi, as it’s usually transliterated, or more accurately, sha’bi, is an egyptian music genre developed in the first half of twentieth century that thrived in 1960s-80s.

though shaabi music is exclusively urban music of cairo, it originates in egyptian folk rural music, esp. of delta’s fellaheen (peasants).

etymology: arabic sha’bi (popular, folk, of common people) ultimately from sha’b (people).
egyptian shaabi singers rock, but you must admit their music is pure kitsch.
