Massar Egbari
Massar Egbari (Arabic: مسار إجباري) is an Egyptian band from Alexandria, Egypt.
The band members created that sarcastic name for the band since they felt that the society is trying to imply its power over people starting from their childhood till the day they die. This social power wants to stereotype everything including the way we think and feel, leaving no space for creation and innovation.
Massar Egbari presents music and songs talking about our social problems. Love is not our main concern although it represents a part of our songs.
Through the members' different musical backgrounds, the band is presenting a kind of Alternative Egyptian Music, mixing rock, jazz and blues with some Oriental music.
-In October 2006 Shadi Abd El Azim joined the band. Shadi plays acoustic and electric guitar and sings as backing vocal.
