French-Algerian DJ and producer, DJ Snake, has released a new music video inspired by Cairo’s streets and Egypt’s mahraganat music scene, a genre that emerged in the capital’s working-class neighbourhoods and blends electronic music, hip-hop, folk influences, and auto-tuned vocals. Released on Thursday, 4 June, “Cairo Express” attracted more than 400,000 views on YouTube within its first day. Throughout the video, DJ Snake moves through a version of Cairo that feels both familiar and exaggerated. Packed alleyways, neighbourhood performers, and curious bystanders appear alongside more surreal scenes, creating a fast-paced portrait of the city’s energy and unpredictability.

The music video also follows a fictional storyline in which DJ Snake hosts a street talent search while performing with a deliberately over-the-top band, adding a layer of humour to the scenes unfolding around him. “Cairo Express” appears on Nomad, DJ Snake’s latest album, a 17-trackContinue reading "DJ Snake Turns Cairo’s Streets Into the Backdrop of New ‘Cairo Express’ Music Video"
