Description or Abstract

Ever since the year 2011, Music as a form of expression has changed in Egypt due to the 25th of January revolution. Zeina Makarem, a Multimedia Journalism student at the American University in Cairo, analyzes the change in music in her country and its impact on the people. People decided to speak up and fight for their rights of freedom, and in order to do so, they had to unite using a language everyone, from all the different social classes, understood. And music, being the universal language of mankind, was one of the main tools of expression amongst the Egyptian population ever since the 25th of January revolution has taken place, which opened the door to a new Egypt.
