The sounds of 2020’s Arab Spring come to Tampa Bay at the hands of Amir Eid, who brings his Egyptian rock band Cairokee and its breakout single “Voice Of Freedom.”

While the band’s newer work has moved away from politics, it is still beautiful to listen to, especially for fans who love the sounds of global pop music.

Tickets to see Cairokee play The Ritz in Ybor City on Sunday, Sept. 22 are still available and start at $70.
