About Al Massrieen

Al Massrieen was an Egyptian pop band formed in 1977 in Tanta, Egypt. Hany Shenoda is the man behind the Al Massrieen band. He is a reknowned figure of the Egyptian music scene and has worked with everyone from Abdel Halim Hafez to Mohamed Mounir. Al Massrieen was his attempt to introduce his ideas of modernizing Egyptian music, heavily encouraged by Naguib Mahfouz (Egypt's only winner of the Nobel Price for literature) after discussing his ideas with him. Al Massrieen's sound goes from lush disco like "Sah" to psych rock like "Horreya" or incredible jazz fused pop on songs such as "Edba Mn Gded". The band is hardly known outside Egypt, possibly due to the fact that their releases never have been pressed on vinyl apart from a Greece best of LP.
