The Sounds of Egypt pt. 2: A Lebanese Sound in Egypt

And here's a snazzy video from a great group from Beirut that I saw play a show about a month ago here in Cairo.  Of all the music posted, this one is easily my favorite.  The name of the group, "Mashrou'a Leila" is a bit mysterious, because it has multiple meanings that the band has avoided explaining.  One meaning could be "Nighttime Construction," while another could be "Leila's Project."  I like that.
