| Shaabi music originated in the restive urban culture of the streets of Cairo. It was like a revolution – it could be heard in every shop, taxicab, restaurant and home, and spread like wildfire because it was danceable pop music that gave listeners a chance to vent their feelings about love, romance, money, dreams, or anything worth longing for. It helped the joyous revel and celebrate life… and those who were down on their luck or victims of the pitfalls of urban life were able to find solitude in this new style of music.
