The name

a phrase with a history.

When the Tripartite Aggression air-raided Egypt's radio broadcast station in 1956, the Syrian radio network answered: "from Damascus, this is Cairo." Ever since, the phrase has carried a pan-Arab identity — collective purpose, common values, mutual solidarity.

When COVID-19 struck, we launched HUNALQAHIRA: an online platform where rising artists could keep sharing their music without putting the community at risk. COVID-19 ended — we endured. Today HUNALQAHIRA is not only a voice, but a feeling of safety and a symbol of resilience.

Born from the global pause

A digital bridge built when the rooms went quiet.

Curated, broadcast live
