Fairuz

They run in the same orbit as Mashrou' Leila, Mohamed Mounir, Hamid El Shaeri, Akher Zapheer and Souad Massi, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Alsarah, Faouzia, Majida El Roumi, Elyanna and Diana Karazon, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
