#jan25 - the soundtrack

By AuthorIssandr El Amrani |

Arabian Knightz and Lauryn Hill have laid down the first track in honor of Egypt's uprising.

A lot of songs were played in Midan Tahrir in the last few days — any suggestions to what might make it to a soundtrack playlist?

I am curious to the translation of this track: Arabian Knightz and Lauryn Hil

Is someone up to translate the song? Thanks a lot in advance!
Keep up the good work!

the live music from tahrir in this video (found via sonic disobedience page linked in comments above) is excellent...

sounds like a sort of up-to-date sheikh imam, with the same mesmerising and punchy style. there's no info about the performer(s) unfortunately.
