In March, Cairokee launched their latest album "Abnaa el Bata el Soda” (The Ugly Ducklings) on their official YouTube Channel.
The Ugly Ducklings consists of eight songs and a bonus track.
The band and album topped Twitter's most trending list after its release.
Twitter users created "#Cairokee" and “#The_Ugly_Ducklings” hashtags, expressing their love for the new album and the band’s creativity.
Cairokee is an Egyptian rock band that was officially founded in 2003 but came to prominence with its revolutionary music following the Egyptian Revolution of 2011, due to its politically inspired lyrics and protest songs released following the uprising.
Their song "Ya El Midan", featuring prominent Egyptian singer Aida el Ayoubi — who had previously retired in the 1990s— ranked number one on Facebook worldwide for downloads and number eight on YouTube with more than half a million views on the video channel in just two days after its debut release.
The band consists of lead vocalist Amir Eid, lead guitarist Sherif Hawary, drummer Tamer Hashem, keyboarder Sherif Mostafa, and bass guitarist Adam el-Alfy.
They were friends ever since they were young during their school days and Tamer was already a drummer back then.
In 2003, Eid and Hawary had already started an English band initially called Black Star. They started playing cover for English songs with only one Egyptian Masry song "Ghariba" that was highly admired by their audiences.
Cairokee were mainly influenced by The Beatles and Pink Floyd.
They launched in 2017 album "Noaata Beda" (White Point), which featured 10 songs.
