Cairokee consists of lead vocalist Amir Eid, lead guitarist Sherif Hawary, drummer Tamer Hashem, keyboarder Sherif Mostafa, and bass guitarist Adam el-Alfy.
The band was founded in 2003 but rose to fame with its revolutionary music after the 2011 Revolution due to its politically inspired lyrics and protest songs released following the revolution.
They were friends ever since they were young during their school days and Hashem was already a drummer back then.
In 2003, Eid and Hawary had already started an English band initially called, 'The Black Star' and started playing covers of English songs alongside an Egyptian song entitled 'Ghariba' that was loved by their audiences.
The band's first major hit was 'Sout El Horeya' which has millions of views on YouTube and was ranked a world record as one of the most-watched videos in the shortest period of time.
Their song 'Ya El Midan', featuring prominent Egyptian singer Aida el Ayoubi, who had previously retired in the 1990s, ranked number one on Facebook worldwide for downloads and number eight on YouTube with over half a million views on the video channel in just two days after its debut release.
Cairokee was mainly influenced by The Beatles and Pink Floyd.

Luciano Pavarotti Biopic Planned
Yara Sameh Prominent Italian producer Pietro Valsecchi ('Quo Vado') is developing a high-end Luciano Pavarotti biopic. Valsecchi has secured a consulting agreement with Nicoletta Mantovani, the second wife of the late great tenor who broadened the audience for opera and became a global pop culture icon. A screenplay for the project is being penned by ace Italian screenwriter Leonardo Fasoli, a head writer on the series 'Gomorrah' which is Italy's top TV export. Mantovani, who established the Luciano Pavarotti Foundation after the maestro's death at 71, in 2007, is providing the project with documents, rare images, private letters, mementos, and more from the archives of the foundation and museum in the Northern Italian city of Modena that was Pavarotti's home. As part of the agreement, Mantovani 'will be actively involved in every aspect of the project, contributing first-hand to the narrative and artistic construction of the film,' according to a statement. Born in 1935 in Modena into a working-class family – his father was a baker, while his mother worked in a cigar factory – Luciano Pavarotti developed a passion for opera as a child thanks to his father, an amateur tenor. Thanks to his vibrant signature high C's and a knack for showmanship he became the most beloved and celebrated tenor since Enrico Caruso and one of the few opera singers to attain crossover fame. 'Luciano had a big dream, which was to bring opera back to the people, because when he was a kid opera was sung in the streets and was just like pop music today,' Mantovani told Variety. Pavarotti pursued this dream through the Three Tenors projects, a collective enterprise that saw him share the stage with Plácido Domingo and José Carreras and his 'Pavarotti and Friends' charity concerts, performing with rock stars such as Elton John, Sting, and Bono. Valsecchi, who shepherded Italy's biggest all-time box office hit, the 2016 comedy 'Quo Vado,' said he is seeking an Italian actor to play the lead and will soon be announcing a director for the project that will differentiate itself from Ron Howard-directed 2019 doc 'Pavarotti' by having a 'more Italian soul' while being 'clearly universal.' The plan is to shoot the Italian and English language Pavarotti biopic in several countries. Valsecchi is currently shopping the project to streamers and international buyers. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
