Ten years ago, he was singing Irhal [Leave] in front of tens of thousands of people in Cairo's Tahrir Square, against Hosni Mubarak's regime, and today he lives in exile between Sweden and Finland. Ramy Essam (Mansoura, Egypt, 1987) was the voice of the revolution, one of Egypt's most popular singer-songwriters. After the fall of the rais he continued to sing against the military junta and against the government of Mohammed Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood. With the return of the military to power with Marshal Al-Sissi he had to go into exile, but he continues to denounce the repression of a regime that accumulates tens of thousands of political prisoners. Among them is the poet Galal El-Bahairy, author of the lyrics of the song Bahlal, a song Essam released in 2018. The young director of the video clip, Shady Habash, died of medical malpractice behind bars.
