Baheya Band plays "oriental revolutionary" music, with influences of Sayed Darwish and Imam Issa’s now-classic revolutionary songs. Their songs tackle issues of corruption, colonialism and dictatorship.
The five band members are Omar El-Ayat and AbdelGhany Sayed on oud, Omar Samy on percussion, and Omar Khater and Rose-Marie El-Gohary with vocals.
The band was formed in 2011, when they met by coincidence at a sit-in in front of the cabinet building, singing the same revolutionary songs by Darwish and Issa.
