Youssra is a young Egyptian singer, actor and radio host. She had a viral hit with her first song "El Soor", dealing with the walls that were build in central Cairo to block off Tahir Square. "Ghareeb An El Medina" was produced by Oddisee and remixed by Brenk at Mohsen Matri Studios in Tunis, Tunisia.

A little less then three years ago the political situation in many countries of the Arab world changed dramatically. Uprisings started in rural areas of Tunisia and from there spread to various countries in the region. Millions gathered in the streets united by their demand for more democracy, rights and participation in the political process. In most cases the reaction of the governing dictators were relentless and severe towards every form of protests. Violence in the streets of Cairo, Tunis and Bengasi escalated and resulted in the overthrow of the governments in Tunisia, Egypt and Lybia.
A year later a group of female singers and musicians from Tunisia (Nawel Ben Kraiem, Badiaa Bouhrizi, Medusa, Houwaida), Libya (Nada) and Egypt (Donia Massoud, Maryam Saleh, Youssra El Hawary) met in Mohsen Matri Studio in Tunis to sing- against corruption, despotism, patronization and narrow-mindedness. The song with Syrian artist Rasha Rizk was recorded some months later in her political asylum in Cairo. Sudanese/American producer Oddisee and Olof Dreijer of the Swedish pop duo The Knife joined the session, participating in the creation of the musical backdrop as well as the often multi-instrumentalist female singers. For the vinyl edition producers such as Brenk, Blackjoy and Blundetto contributed remix versions of the project.

"Sawtuha" (Arabic for "her voice"), the album that is the product of the 2-week session, is a vital encouraging testament of rebellion against the repression of democratic rights, gender inequality, and lack of inclusion. The music is an organic mixture of traditional Arabic music, regional influences and various forms of contemporary Western musical genres. A mixture that may sound contradicting at first but makes total sense once you listen to the music.

The studio session was organized by the Berlin based NGO MICT (Media In Cooperation And Transition) and was funded by the German Federal Foreign Office.

بيروت (Beirut)
شرب العرق
لعب الورق
خيل السبق
صيد الحمام
رسمال بيروت
لبس الغوى
شمّ الهوى
أكل الهوا
شاغل عقول سكان بيروت
بيروت زهرة من غير أوانها
بيروت ماحلاها وماحلا زمانها
بيروت يا حيلها ويا ضيعنها تدبل
ما في عمل
ما في أمل
برك الجمل
ركب النحس تجار بيروت
الغندرة والفنجرة والبهورة
كتر البتر هالك بيروت

شوي (Shouei)
شوي شوي
على مهلك
مع مرور الوقت
ما لازم نهلك
شوي شوي
خود وقتك
لو خففت شوي
رح ضلّني الك
نفسك قصير
لي مستعجل هيك؟
ما مخليلي وقت ارتاح
عم ضيع عم اتعب
يا ريتك تركز شوي
يا ريتك توعا
شوي شوي على مهلك
مع مرور الوقت
ما لازم نهلك
نفسك قصير
لي مستعجل لي؟
ما مخليلي وقت ارتاح

Douss from Yasmine Hamdan's album "Al Jamilat", out now

دوس
أنا ولا أنت ملناش فيها
ولا الفتنة اللي وصلنالها
أنا ولا أنت ملناش فيها
حكوماتهم أنظمتهم
أنا ولا أنت ملناش فيها
يا للعار 
ويا للأسف
عصاباتهم  ملناش فيها
ربيع العرب حي

شعاراتهم اكاذيبهم
أنا ولا أنت ملناش فيها
نزاعاتهم دوافعهم 
استنزفونا مللنا منها
طموحاتهم مصالحهم
أنا ولا أنت ملناش فيها
يا للعار 
ويا للأسف
مؤامراتهم ملناش فيها
ربيع العرب حي


That war was thrown upon us
Enmity you and I did not seek
Wallowing in bitter strife
One you and I did not seek
Their governments, rulers, ministers
One you and I did not seek
Oh the shame the sorrow
Their rings of outlaws we did not seek
The spring for Arabs is here     

Feeding us slogans lies and deceits
All of which you and I did not seek
Their conflicts undying greed
Drained our souls, emptied us whole
Their motives, insatiable hunger
You and I did not seek
Oh the shame
And the sorrow
The plots they hatch we did not seek
The spring for Arabs is here
