Shaaban Abdel-Rehim, Zahirat Al-Alfiya Al-Talta: Khaleek Insan Gideed (Shaaban Abdel-Rehim, Phenomenon of the Third Millennium: Re-Invent Yourself)


He used to be a professional ironer, struggling to pay the rent – now he is the hottest thing on the Arabic music scene. "I hate Israel" and "I'm going to quite smoking" are two of his most recent chart-topping tunes… Like rap, his music hits straight to the core. His name is Shaaban Abdel-Rehim and he is a true "phenomenon of the third millennium."

That's the title of a brand new book by Tarek Atia tracing the rise of Shaaban Abdel-Rehim and what his success means for the Arabic music scene.
