Youssra El Hawary

Youssra (born 9 October 1983) is an Egyptian accordionist, composer, songwriter, singer, theater performer and actress. She started her musical career performing only with her accordion; she sings about everything, and her songs tell stories and somewhat mock Egyptians socially and politically, some are songs that she wrote herself. Her expressive presence on stage and unique musical style that draws from many different genres helped her to quickly capture audience attention in her first performances. In a very short time she became one of the strong outspoken female voices in Egypt, receiving a lot of attention specially after her first music video "El Soor" or "The Wall" which was a biting political commentary about the situation in Egypt. Youssra Has been also working with The Choir Project, Egypt as a musician since it was founded in 2010, and as an actress and a vocal performer in Al Tamye theater group since 2007.
