Hishek Bishek
“The biggest crowd reactions are for the 90s pop songs and the hi-tempo Egyptian street songs … [while] foot-stomping dabke from the Levantine region [plays] at a frenetic, deft rhythmic beat. The dabke songs have people holding hands in small groups and stomping their feet to the rhythm, while the Egyptian mahraganat tracks have people moving as though it were a hip-hop night.”
– The Guardian
