In the heart of the city of Suez, where the scent of the sea mingles with the fragrance of history and resistance, one of Egypt’s most prominent artistic groups was born: The Suez Folk Instruments Band, which has taken on the task of reviving and preserving the folk artistic heritage, led by the sesame instrument, the city’s symbol and musical icon.
The band was founded as part of the efforts of the General Authority for Cultural Palaces to preserve local heritage, but it quickly turned into a real school that produced some of the most renowned sesame players and singers in Egypt.
