(Egypt) Sha'abi is the proletarian music of Egypt, but like so many of the genres that started out as gritty statements of working class life, it has been refined into pop music. Hakim is one of a generation raised on Sha'abi, and with his warm smile and penetrating voice, he has become one of its greatest stars. Hakim may also have a future in comedy - certainly this video showcases his ability to make fun of himself, as he appears in virtually every male role.
