Oka Wi Ortega

Oka Wi Ortega are an Egyptian music duo that have made a significant mark on the Mahraganat music scene. Mahraganat, which translates to "festivals" in Arabic, is a genre that emerged from Cairo's working-class neighborhoods in the early 2000s. It's a blend of traditional Egyptian Shaabi music with electronic beats, rap, and dance elements. Oka and Ortega, whose real names are Ahmed Metwally (Oka) and Mohamed Salah (Ortega), have been at the forefront of this vibrant and revolutionary music scene.

The duo have a distinct pulse on the energy and sentiments of the Egyptian street life, as reflected in their body of work that often talks about societal issues, love, and daily struggles, all served with a rhythm that's hard to resist. With hits like "El3ab Yalla" and "مهرجان هنولع" (Mahragan Henwela), they've not only captivated audiences in Egypt but have gained popularity across the Arab world. Their music has also played a part in the political and social fabric of Egypt, resonating with the youth and reflecting their aspirations and frustrations. Notoriously known for their electrifying performances and crowd interaction, Oka Wi Ortega bring the raw spirit of Cairo streets to the global stage. Through their pulsating beats and catchy hooks, they showcase the vibrancy and dynamism of Mahraganat music.
