Cairokee

This Band was brought to life when Amir (vocal) and Hawary (guitarist) when they started singing in Arabic out of humour, really. They thought to themselves why not take it seriously and go Arabic all the way, since it’s their mother tongue while blending it with the Rock influences they have grown to love and admire: this created a really exotic and if nothing else.Is mainly playing rock but in an Egyptian lyrics and flavour, the name is aspired from both the words "Cairo" and "Karaoke" which means singing along with Cairo. The band first, started by the name “The Black Star” which means the Unseen Star, where they used to play English covers. But the band was seriously formed in the year 2003, ever since the band has performed live in various places. The idea of playing music and performing live was a childhood dream for all the members of the band.
