From Adaweya all the way to Hassan Shakoosh, there is a \u201ccommon denominator\u201d between original shaaby music and contemporary mahraganat: \u201cThey all seem to deliver a message.

For example, the 2011 uprising brought fame to <strong>Cairokee<\/strong>, which was previously little-known, after the release of their song \u201cSout El Horreya\u201d (The Sound of Freedom). The band has since released several songs couched in revolutionary themes, but also sing plenty about unrequited love and social issues.
