Egyptian Soft Rock band Wust El Balad will perform live at the Cairo Opera House’s Open Theatre on Sunday, March 1.
They are set to present several of their popular and latest songs.
The event is set to begin at 09:30 PM (Cairo local time) and is held as a part of the Cairo Opera House's celebration of the Holy month of Ramadan.
Wust El Balad was founded in Cairo in 1999 by members Ahmed Omran and Hany Adel. The band consists of five other members: Ahmed Omar, Adham El Saeid, Asaad Nessim, Ehab Abdel Hameed (BoB), and Mohammed Gamal Al Din (Mizo).
The band is considered to be the most successful rock act in Egypt and the Arab world. They were the first band in the region to gain this huge success and acclaim at large.
In 2007, the band released their debut album "Wust El Balad" via the Egyptian label Star Gate Records.
They offer music that blends the Egyptian traditional style with a modern musical touch.
The band mixes music played with purely oriental instruments, such as Oud, with Western styles of music, such as those played with “guitar” and “piano.”
The musicians presented their first appearance as Wust El Balad at Al Mashrabeya Gallery, followed by their first paid gig at the Berlitz Language Center.
Ever since, the band has been a regular performer at all galleries, cultural centers, special events and hotels, and even abroad.
Wust El Balad aim to reach the average person who is unable to hear them in bars or galleries, becoming the first band to play in Egyptian streets.
