10 Shaabi Tracks That Stand Out as Modern Classics

Shaabi has been THE GENRE of Egyptian music for decades - a sound that saw a surge in commercial success and talent across the country, especially in the 2000s. Some of its tunes became massive hits, dominating entire periods. This era predates the current popularity of Mahraganat.  These nostalgic classics remain ingrained in our minds, having been a prominent fixture at weddings, parties and gatherings. Now, during Mahraganat's commercial reign, these classic Shaabi tracks stand as a testament to a flourishing artistic period.
