Baraka Band Best Cover Band In Egypt

As far as I know, there's little info on the cover band Baraka Band, a band does covers of old Egyptian classics like those of Sheikh Imam written by controversial leftist Ahmad Foad Najim. Established in 2007 by Wesam Sultan, guitarist and Maryam Saleh, vocalist. Hossam and Gorge will later join the band.

I did find an old video of theirs doing cover of Bahya, a timeless classic. This Alexandria band will be putting their name out there as they took part of a concert organized in honor of Ramadan.

The band is focused on singing poem by local poets who talk about everyday's life in Egypt. Politics and humor are all over their work and of course they are comfortable with rock music.
