Hamid El Shari

Hamid Un Shari was created within the Libyan town of Benghazi, researched aviation in Britain, researched music in Cairo, and resolved permanently in Egypt in 1974, after witnessing Colonel Gadaffi’s open public burning of traditional western music instruments. A refugee from his very own country’s hostile anti-modern procedures, he steadily produced a name for himself as Egypt’s leading champ of westernized synthesizer pop, referred to as Al-jil (era music). Even more a deft mixing of sounds when compared to a basic music importation, Al-jil provides all of the dance charm a range of samplers and synths can offer, tempered by way of a distinctively Middle Eastern melodic audio. His 1988 strike one, “Lolaiki,” documented with Ali Hamaida, can be said to possess sold greater than a million cassettes between 1988 and 1899. Even though establishment changes its nasal area up at Al-jil, it obviously includes a wide and long lasting charm.
