Ramy Essam is an Egyptian rock musician who soared to international fame during the Egyptian revolution in 2011. During the height of the uprising, he performed in front of millions in Tahrir Square. His music became the soundtrack of a generation fighting for a better life and a fairer society. Essam has become an international symbol of social activism and a beacon of bravery in the Middle East. Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine once said Essam is the “rock Bob Dylan of the Middle East.”
