Ehky Ya Masr A Tale of a Drum and a Song: Exploring The Mesaharaty

“A Tale of a Drum and a Song: Exploring the Mesaharaty” by Shaza Walid, @shazawalid.

Perhaps the first thing to come to your mind when you think about Ramadan is family gatherings, syrupy desserts, colorful lanterns and of course ... the mesaharaty.

In this episode, Shaza Walid takes us on a journey to explore the history of the mesaharaty and his iconic drumbeat and special songs. But it’s not the story of a man this time, as it has always been over the past decades. Listen to Shaza’s feature to know about the story of the most prominent female mesaharaty in Egypt.

“A Tale of a Drum and a Song: Exploring the Mesaharaty” is a part of the Ehky Ya Masr إحكي يا مصر Ramadan series.

Ehky Ya Masr Wasta in Egypt

How much can a relationship help you?
In Egypt, the answer is: a lot.

A "wasta," a connection that helps you attain a certain service, position or special treatment, is something common for those who live in Egypt. Even when not necessary, having a wasta can save an individual time and effort.

In this episode of the Relationships Series, @Nour-Ibrahim-58 discovers how wasta works in Egypt and why even those who find it unethical rely on it.

Egypt's Obsession With Their Neighbors

“Egyptians’ Obsession With Their Neighbors” by Menna Eid, @moonyeid.

The nosy neighbor is a global phenomenon. For Egyptians, it starts with the doorman, the bawab. His nosiness can negatively impact the vibrancy of a young girl’s life: keeping track of when she comes and goes, how she dresses and who she socializes with. Ehky Ya Masr’s Menna Eid is one of those who is openly spied on. She shares her story.

“Egyptians’ Obsession With Their Neighbors” is a part of the Ehky Ya Masr إحكي يا مصر Relationship series. Though this piece has been edited for the Ehy Ya Masr Podcast, it was originally produced for the Audio Production course at The American University in Cairo, a course taught by EYM executive producer Kim Fox.
