Hassan Shakosh (Born on August 12, 1987, Giza) is an Egyptian mahragan singer/rapper on the Al Shawakesh label. Hassan attributes his career in working-class neighborhoods to the start of his career singing populist songs in support of working-class people. He has been singing since 2000. Currently, his style takes the street-music, grunge-adjacent style of "mahraganat," which is a radio-friendly electronic rap (
shaabi). Hassan is one of the leading mahragan singers in Egypt, but mahraganat music is causing a moral panic similar to
gangsta rap in the US in the 90s. Conservatives, including the government, are concerned about the references to sex and alcohol.
Hassan Shakosh's songs include:
Bent El Giran (2020) by Hassan Shakosh and Omar Kamal
Oud al Batal (2020)

Visual Vernacular Theatrical storytelling art form strongly influenced by mime and the silent film era. VV is a popular art form in the Deaf community. It uses gestures, facial expression, body shifting, and classifiers to tell a story. No actual signs or fingerspelling are used when telling a VV story. Most VV stories use elements taken from cinematography including staying within a frame (the actor does not move across the stage), recreating different types of shots (close, medium, wide); and sometimes changing speed. Bernard Bragg was an early visual vernacular performer. Modern artists include Justin Perez and Crom Saunders.

Hassan Shakosh (Born on August 12, 1987, Giza) is an Egyptian mahragan singer/rapper on the Al Shawakesh label. Hassan attributes his career in working-class neighborhoods to the start of his career singing populist songs in support of working-class people. He has been singing since 2000. Currently, his style takes the street-music, grunge-adjacent style of "mahraganat," which is a radio-friendly electronic rap (
shaabi). Hassan is one of the leading mahragan singers in Egypt, but mahraganat music is causing a moral panic similar to
gangsta rap in the US in the 90s. Conservatives, including the government, are concerned about the references to sex and alcohol.
Hassan Shakosh's songs include:

Visual Vernacular Theatrical storytelling art form strongly influenced by mime and the silent film era. VV is a popular art form in the Deaf community. It uses gestures, facial expression, body shifting, and classifiers to tell a story. No actual signs or fingerspelling are used when telling a VV story. Most VV stories use elements taken from cinematography including staying within a frame (the actor does not move across the stage), recreating different types of shots (close, medium, wide); and sometimes changing speed. Bernard Bragg was an early visual vernacular performer. Modern artists include Justin Perez and Crom Saunders.
