The mystery is finally solved! After teasing fans with a cryptic poster and raising endless questions, WATCH IT has officially announced that a brand-new documentary about Egypt’s biggest rock band, Cairokee is coming exclusively to the platform on June 25.

 

 

 

The documentary, titled “Cairokee In The Road”, promises an all-access look into the band’s incredible journey — from their humble beginnings to becoming the voice of a generation.

 

 

 

It all started with that black bus poster bearing the band’s logo and the question, “What do you think is coming next?” — a question that set social media on fire with wild guesses.

 

 

 

Now, the answer is here. Fans will finally get a behind-the-scenes look at the highs, the struggles, the music, and the moments that shaped Cairokee’s empire.

 

The announcement comes just days before the band’s massive “Cairokee Empire” concert at Cairo Stadium on June 28 — making this documentary the perfect warm-up for what promises to be a historic night.

 

So buckle up — the road to Cairokee’s story starts now, only on WATCH IT! 
 

 

 

Layaly Misr announced Cairokee’s new concert, Cairokee Empire, which will take place on June 28 at Cairo International Stadium.

 

 

 

 

 

Popular Egyptian band Cairokee released their song “Telk Qadeya” in support of the Palestinian cause.

 

“Telk Qadeya” was written by acclaimed Egyptian poet Mostafa Ibrahim.

 

Cairokee is one of the most successful bands in Egypt. They are well known for their blend of folk and indie rock music, as well as for lyrics that address social and political issues in the country.

 

The band was founded in 2003, but their hit song “Sout El-Horreya” (Voice of Freedom), released online in 2011, catapulted them to nationwide fame and placed them among Egypt’s leading music icons.

 

In March 2019, Cairokee released their album “Abna’a El-Batta El-Soda” (The Ugly Ducklings) on their official YouTube channel.

 

The album contains eight tracks:

• “Benkhaf” (We Are Afraid)

• “Kan Lak Ma’aya” (You Were with Me)

• “Ya Abyad Ya Eswed” (Either White or Black)

• “Hatlena Bel Ba’i Leban” (Buy Gum with the Change)

• “Yalla Nighanni” (Let’s Sing)

• “Ana El-Sigara” (I Am the Cigarette)

• “Ma’ad Sagheiran”

• “Ana El-Sout” (I Am the Voice)

 

All tracks were composed and arranged by Cairokee, except “Ma’ad Sagheiran”, which was arranged by Sary Hany. The lyrics were written by Amir Eid, except:

• “Benkhaf”, written by Mohamed Shafaei

• “Hatlena Bel Ba’i Leban”, by Atwa

• “Ma’ad Sagheiran”, by Dr. Ahmed Khaled Tawfiq

• “Ana El-Sout”, by Nour Abdallah

 

The Ugly Ducklings album explores a range of human emotions and challenges—such as anger, loss, and rebellion—offering messages of hope and solidarity to those who feel defeated, rejected, or discriminated against by others or by life itself.

 

With this release, Cairokee returned to the spotlight following the massive success of their previous album “No’ta Beida” (A White Point), which amassed over 170 million views on YouTube.

 

All songs in the new album were filmed as music videos in a single location, except for the track “El Dinosaur”.

 

The album remained true to Cairokee’s signature style while introducing bold new twists that, although unfamiliar to their audience at first, were ultimately well received.
