Massar Egbari

Massar Egbari are an Egyptian Band from Alexandria, Egypt. The band members created that sarcastic name for the band since they felt that the society is trying to imply its power over people starting from their childhood till the day they die. This social power wants to stereotype everything including the way we think and feel, leaving no space for creation and innovation.Massar Egbari presents music and songs talking about our social problems. Love is not our main concern although it represents a part of our songs. Through the members' different musical backgrounds, the band is presenting a kind of Alternative Egyptian Music, mixing rock, Jazz and Blues with some Oriental music, giving the band it's own unique sound.Massar Egbari started in 2005, and played on almost all the Egyptian stages, and starting 2007 the band started to perform in Europe as it participated in Malta Arts Festival (Valletta-Malta) , Barisa Rock Festival - Rock for Peace (Istanbul-Turkey), The Biennale of young artists from Europe and the mediterranean (Bari-Italy)and some of the band members participated in Seven Gates Music Workshop (Skopje-Macedonia) with musicians from Macedonia , Bosnia and Herzegovina , Turkey and Italy.WIKIPEDIA
