Join us on January 25 to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Egyptian Revolution and mark the release of Flap My Wings: Songs from We Live in Cairo, a new album from The Lazours and Taibi Magar. Tune in for music and artwork from the album and conversation with its creators, Tarek Masoud from the Middle East Initiative at the Harvard Kennedy School, and collaborators who have contributed to the making of the album, including the celebrated Egyptian artist Ganzeer, the Tunisian singer-songwriter Emel, the Egyptian rock artist and human rights defender Ramy Essam, and the lead singer of the Lebanese band Mashrou’ Leila, Hamed Sinno.
To close out the event, we’ll watch the animated music video created by Ganzeer for the titular single “Flap My Wings.”
“Flap My Wings” and the latest single “Genealogy of Revolution,” performed and arranged by Hamed Sinno, are out now.
Presented in collaboration with the Belfer Center’s Middle East Initiative at Harvard Kennedy School.
