Since the genre’s emergence in 2010, the legality of Mahraganat music has been the subject of heated discussion. Now, Egypt’s newly elected Head of the Musicians’ Syndicate, Mostafa Kamel, has announced that he will suspend all Mahraganat artists’ licenses.
The popular genre encountered difficulties under the former Head of the Musicians’ Syndicate, Hany Shaker, with many musicians being prohibited from giving public performances. Following Kamel’s pronouncement, the syndicate would control the genre and grant licenses following a new set of rules that it has released. #thedose #dose #thedose_mag #artdose #music #mahraganat #mostafakamel
