Listening to Egypt

Posted on 11 March 20214 September 2022 by Annie

Cats were important to ancient Egyptian culture. There’s a huge number of cat-shaped decorations and even cat mummies that were found during expeditions and excavations. Many deities were depicted as cats, cats were thought to protect the Pharaohs, not least because they killed venomous snakes. I wish I had a cat (and I can’t even go see my parents’ cat *sigh*), so this is the next best thing for the time being 🀣 Also, I’ve already filled up my Spotify playlist with more than three hours of music from Egypt. If you need a little vacation of the mind, check out my story for the link to Spotify.πŸ˜πŸ˜‰πŸ’–β£β£

⁣With open ears I’m listening through all kinds of music from Egypt and exploring its musical history. In doing so, I curate a Spotify playlist with my favorite discoveries. This playlist follows only two rules: I include artists from or strongly connected with Egypt and I include a maximum of two songs by the same artist. Everything else depends on my own eclectic and offbeat taste in music, which I hope you enjoy. I’m adding songs from all kinds of genres until I reach about three hours of music. Maybe you’ll find your new favorite song in there?
