Massar Egbari, which means “Compulsory Detour”, is one of the most famous and oldest singing groups in Egypt and the Arab world.

The band was founded in 2005 and consists of Ayman Massoud, Hany El Dakkak, Ahmed Hafez, Tamer Attallah, and Mahmoud Siam.

Massar Egbari tackles social problems with their music, inserts a mix of Alternative Egyptian Music, and blends rock, jazz, and blues with some Oriental music.

In 2011, the band was honored by UNESCO in Paris.
