Where We Live: Egyptian Music (Heavy Metal And Rap Included)
Afropop's Banning Eyre takes us through the music of his recent trip to Egypt.
Egypt has a deep cultural and musical tradition that goes back thousands of years.
That history is continuing with modern music that provided the soundtrack to this spring’s uprising and overthrow of the government.
Afropop Worldwide - the public radio show dedicated to the music of the African continent - and heard Saturday nights at 11 - premieres its latest “Hip Deep” series this week, and its all about Egypt.
The idea behind “Hip Deep” is that music can help explain...everything. And Afropop producer Banning Eyre takes us on a journey of discovery - from calls to prayer to what’s playing in the clubs - that tells the story of this ancient and modern place.

Music and History Integration! Very Kool
I have never heard of this type of music before. I make rap music about my past and my personal experiences. However mixing ancient Egypt and music especially rap (because that's my favorite type of music) is a great idea.
