T 50 is the one in the yellow cap area they are discussing a gig abroad. They have already performed in london and in some amber they had to berlin. In september they had to berlin. Their celebrated as children of the role of illusion but that is not true. Not all artists rights on but the revolution. On the contrary, only if you have done that. It has not been as important to them as it was and remains to be elites. To the these kids find themselves and a revolution with themselves, with their way of living. And with the question of what i can achieve with my life. To salaam city. The music form a merged and where it is listened to the most. In taxis, for example. It has its origins in a kind of music called shaabi. Popular in the 1980s, it put unconventional lyrics into simple language. Initially disdained by the elite, shaabi quickly went mainstreams and went and was played at weddings on the streets. Especially in neighborhoods like salaam city, one of cairos porras. Half a Million People live here on the eastern reaches of the capital. Education levels are low and unemployment is high. Im supposed to meet up with sadat and 50 in the afternoon. When i arrive, their manager tells me they are still asleep. They got to bed at 9 00 in the morning. Later, 50 shows up and wants to show me around. You are in salaam city, the of. Ace 50, whose real name is alah, took his name from his idol, u. S. Rapper . 50. Other artists have taken ortega,style names like diesel, and bombo. He feels that home in salaam city. Not least because his music plays everywhere. He says, it is a great feeling. But there are good and bad sides to it. The good thing is we make people happy. People like us. They get their music free of charge. T, dont take money for i but we get fame. That makes me happy because i am recognized. Without these people, i would not have continue with music or it none of us would have, especially here in egypt, where no one gives others a chance. No one helps anyone else. He tells me about a former music producer in central cairo who embezzled money from his band. About intellectuals who despise people here because of their origins. City, peoplealaam stick together, 50 says. We visit each other and ask if they need help. Like this former band member, who left the music business to operate a car wash. 50 is a celebrity around here. He meets with kids just starting to write the music. They approach their idle almost shyly. He asked if they need any help. 50 says it is the social problems in his neighborhood that concern him, not politics, of which he has a low opinion. He says, take the Muslim Brotherhood and the military. Before we can say who is to blame, look at how many people have been killed. , look the truth comes out at how many families have been destroyed. Isnt that right . I dont like politics. Politics creates victims. , and mostny victims of these victims are innocent. That is why i dont like politics. But even when we write a political song, we are not part of politics. The military is fighting the Muslim Brotherhood. Agilet share with any share anything with any of those parties anyway. If you asked it what i am, i will answer, i am an egyptian. Revolt and retreat. They are two sides of 50. During the week, the group hardly ever has a gig. They use the time to rehearse. A computer music software, a microphone. No expensive equipment to write their songs. This is what sets their work apart. Hiphop, rap, and r b beats fused with arabic music and lyrics. Most lyrics are created spontaneously. As the evening continues, the texts grow more political. Before the revolution, singing such lyrics could have gotten them arrested. The a peoples open their eyes the upheavals open their eyes. 50 says, because i am from a simple neighborhood, a to pay a long time to understand that there are people who only want power so they can live well, so they can do what they want. I used to think that the powerful work hard for the poor. And sacrifice themselves. Asked how these people were supposed to eat. Then i found out that egypt is wealthy and the greatest wealth is the egyptian people themselves. Because the music comes from poor areas, egypt has not officially recognized it as an art form and its musicians do not get work licenses from the musicians union. 50 still makes a living from music. This is 50s day job. A wedding at a luxury hotel in cairo. The band gets several gigs like this a week. Their fee equals about 500 euros. The band has fans here, too. Workugh the union denies licenses for those musicians officially because their lyrics are vulgar. This wedding is costing tens of thousands of euros. , has andmate ,sadat different opinion of clients like these. When you watch me here, i am mostly lipsynching. The song plays and i act like i am sinking. Singing. On the streets in salaam city, i put down the microphone when the music is playing. There are, i sing live. I am less happy here than on the streets, but it is only a job. Then they canceled a gate because theyre having to wait too long. They can afford to do that. They canceled a gig because they are way in too long. They can afford to do that. Aren salaam city, weddings held on the street and anyone can have fun. Musicians do not take a fee here. They see it as their social duty. For these young people, the music is like a valve. It lets them blow off steam in the Pressure Cooker that is todays egypt. รท hello, im john cleese. Now, have you ever wondered what makes sacred art really sacred . I mean, does the socalled creative spirit lie within the artist, or is it something channeled through the artist that comes from somewhere else entirely . In either case, prepare to be totally delighted by what follows the firsttime meeting of a tibetan lama and a navajo sculptress. So settle back, take a deep breath, and let your creative spirit float in the wind as we join our host, phil cousineau, with his esteemed guests for this colorful, artdrenched episode of global spirit, the first internal travel series.
