Making music that speaks to and from and for the ghettos, mahragan producers create a world that doesn’t play by the rules of the ones they find themselves in. Their art captures all they come into contact with, from poverty to parties, harsh realities and vivid imaginations, feuds with the government and their friends alike. Bulaq is a snapshot of a group of friends living in one of Cairo’s oldest slums, one that’s more interested in exploring the insides of their minds than examining their outside circumstances.
