'Our Uncle Salah Jahin', an exhibition dedicated to the eponymous caricaturist, has been put on display in Rome, Italy, until February 20th. Previously held at the Hanager Arts Centre in Cairo, the Egyptian Academy of Arts in Rome is hosting the exhibition under the title 'Love with Our Philosopher of the Simple…Our Uncle Salah Jahin' in its main hall.

Throughout his lifetime, he produced many works addressing poignant social issues with a satirical approach, making him an iconic figure in Egyptian and Arab culture.
The exhibition in Cairo featured a collection of his rare drawings, including 32 original drawings displayed for the first time, as well as around 60 caricature portraits of Jahin by 52 artists from Egypt and beyond.
The Egyptian Academy of Arts in Rome also features a rare collection of Jahin's caricature drawings, and showcases his famous quatrains translated into Arabic, Italian, English and French.

Abo El Anwar Returns in New Colour With ‘AFTARAT'

Produced by Egyptian beatmaker Tayyab, the track blends shaabi with pop and hip-hop elements. Jun 13, 2025 Egyptian rapper Abo El Anwar has just released 'AFTARAT', a shaabi-infused track that has him experimenting well beyond his comfort zone. Rising above the chaos of the rap scene in full swagger, Abo El Anwar trades his classic rapid bars for more melodic flows, using sleek worldplay to capture his life under the pressure of fame, but with unwavering confidence and bravado. Produced by rising Egyptian beatmaker Tayyab–known for his works with rap stars like Muhab, Begad and Ahmed Santa–the track explores a colourful musical palette, blending shaabi rhythms with pop sensibilities and hip-hop elements. As vulnerable as he is assertive, Abo El Anwar touches on themes of betrayal and escapism, contrasting fleeting highs with the emptiness of fame and fake opportunistic friendships. While he flexes his material wins, like travelling to Spain and buying a new apartment, he also acknowledges the emotional disassociation and prolonged burnout that comes with trying to hold up a certain facade in the toxic music industry. But beneath the punchy delivery, he reveals a sharp awareness of the instability around him, and his refusal to let it shake his sense of self and his artistic vision.
