Revolutionary rhythms in Egypt and the American University in Cairo

Abstract

During the eighteen days of the January 25 Revolution, the number of musicians who have began singing for the revolution has grown. They were not restricted nor censored, but they were forced to deal with a different kind of pressure when the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces were in power after Egyptian former President Hosni Mubarak stepped down. Despite that, they still managed to find educational institutions, like AUC, their best venues to hold concerts and perform music.
