Den egyptiske artisten og menneskerettighetsforkjemperen Ramy Essam hadde en aktiv rolle under den egyptiske revolusjonen i 2011 og spilte blant annet konserter på Tahrir-plassen. Senere ble han både fengslet og torturert og musikken hans ble forbudt i hjemlandet, faktisk så kan du bli arrestert om politiet finner hans musikk på telefonen din. I 2014 klarte han å flykte til Sverige og har siden jobbet videre med å bruke musikken i kampen for menneskerettigheter.
