Buy This Album: Cairokee 2011

"Leaders Wanted", is the title of this album from the funky indie band from Egypt Cairokee. With 10 tracks from and for Egypt, this hip band does it again and now has a larger platform. such band is the answer to half baked brainless entertainers of the likes of Tamer Hosny. They make original and real music. It sounds like some stoners or buzzed writers and singer get together to craft this album.

As for the team behind this patriotic album here they are:

Amir Eid (Vocals, Guitar)
Sherif Hawary (Lead Guitar, Vocals)
Tamer Hashem (Drums)
Ahmed Bahaa (Percussion)
Sherif Mostafa (Keyboard)
Adam El Alfy (Base Guitar)

If you want an album that can challenge you as it entertains you, this is one of the albums I would pick. Please purchase this album, do not download it. I know sometimes you cannot find it, but you need to support the work of the artists to keep good material coming.

Coming to think of it, the name of the album is pretty awesome, if you flip the title around you have "Wanted Leader", like in Mubarak wanted for justice. But that's over with, now the time to find a leader that the people want, not the authority.

01 - Ye3ady El Seef, a non political song, but inspirational. Good vocals & music
02 - Sout El 7oreya, a song from the heart of Tahrir, the famous song that hit it big
03 - Matloob Za3eem, the gem song about what comes next about Egypt and its future! Great
04 - 7elmy Ana, inspirational song written by a lost soul that has seen enough
05 - Masrawy, the most Egypt exclusive song, blends many musical concepts, a sweet treat
06 - Elwad Beta3 El Mazica, a personal account of a musician who wants to lead a normal live
07 - 3'areb Fi Belad 3'areba, a tale of a misfit who finds he is out place in a stranger's land
08 - Efred Gena7ak, wake up your dream and become a believer, a rock song worthy of films and sport events.

The music video for this son has been shot two months ago and it will be released soon. The album has been for years in the making but the revolution put it on the fast track.
