Final Audio Documentary: Revolutionary Rhythms in Egypt and the American University in Cairo

This is my final audio documentary project for JRMC460 on revolutionary music in Egypt and at the American University in Cairo (AUC).

I tackle my topic from an angle where I focus on how the revolution allowed for such kind of music to emerge in streets, homes and the American University in Cairo (AUC). I also discuss the struggle of some artists to perform their controversial music, and how some educational institutions such as AUC, act as a much more convenient venue for them to perform.

I interview Hazem Shaheen from music band Eskenderella.
Shaheen talks about his music experience in Tahrir Square and the threats his band faces.

My project also features Omar Ezzedine, AUC student who founded club organization Developers Inc. and has been hosting events featuring revolutionary singers at AUC. Ezzedine talks about reasons why revolutionary artists such as Shaheen and Ramy Essam should be holding concerts at AUC.

I additionally interview current Student Union President Ahmed Alaa Fayed who describes and explains AUC students' taste in music related to the revolution, and thanks the revolution for allowing AUC policies to change.
