Video: Youssra El Hawary Takes On The Streets في الشارع - يسرا الهواري

Youssra El Hawary is a street artists who seems to actually know the street well. To illustrate that, her latest single is titled "On The Streets" Youssra is commenting on the streets and what she sees around her town. Her style is the same surreal delivery about the odd things of life. You see selling stuff on the street including their bodies. Others sleep in the street whereas, others are being murdered in the same streets.

This clip reminds me that there are two kinds of street artists. The one that perform on the streets for quick change, and the second who make art about the streets without dissociating themselves with the streets. The lyrics for this track are the work of Amina Jahin, the music is the work of the performer Youssra herself. The melody does sound a little Greek to my ears.

I take comfort that a lot of Egyptians living around the world are tuning in to hear Youssra and other indie artists. Such fans like the humor, and the fresh take on music. I would have to agree that music does bring joy to the life of people.

Life indeed happens on those streets. Mission accomplished, Youssra Al Hawary.
