Biography

he group was founded by Amir Salah El Deen, who was originally in a theater group called “Karisma.” Together with his friend Mohamed Abdo, they met the third member of their future group, Ahmed Bahr, at one of their early shows. They worked well together and decided to form a new group which became Black Theama.[1] Black Theama has collaborated with many other musicians over the years. Massar Egbari and Cairokee are just two of the Egyptian bands that Black Theama has performed with.[5] Aside from the three core singers of Black Theama, many other musicians are also part of the collaboration. Among them was Weka Soliman current guitarist of Canadian rock band Special Ops.[6][7] Underground Following The musical group is unique for its decision to remain an independent band. Black Theama is not affiliated with any large commercial company within the music industry. The group prefers to utilize their own resources to produce their music, recordings, and promotions. Black Theama’s fan base and underground following fund the band.[2] Their fan base is totally responsible for the band’s success and ability to finance further music production. The cost of music production as an independent group can be expensive; the average cost of producing a record is between LE 100,000 and LE 600,000 Egyptian pounds. Black Theama has produced over 50 songs and a collection of music videos since its beginning.[8] The band strives to create music that reflects and captures the feel of daily life in Egypt, as well as their experiences as Egyptians from the South.[2] “It means being special, and being dark-skinned in Egypt… And people from the South have their own character, their own culture – even their tone of voice is different” — singer Mohammed Abdo.
