Massar Egbari – The band members created this sarcastic name for the band because they felt that society is trying to imply its power over people from their childhood until the day they die:

• This social power wants to stereotype everything, including the way we think and feel, leaving no room for creation and innovation.

• Massar Egbari presents music and songs that speak about our social problems. Love is not our main concern, although it is a part of our songs.

Through the different musical backgrounds of the members, the band presents a kind of alternative Egyptian music, mixing rock, jazz and blues with some oriental music. 

In 2007, Massar Egbari started its international musical career by participating in two international festivals: Malta Arts Festival in Valletta, Malta and Barisa Rock Festival in Istanbul, Turkey (a three-day festival featuring 62 bands from more than 6 countries).
