Title
Sixty years of sound: The cassette’s past, present and future in Egypt
Abstract
On its birthday, Al Jazeera looks beyond the cassette’s invention in Europe and at its life in Egypt. Adawiya, Imam and Kishk used the technology to circumvent censorship and reach a mass audience in the absence of Egyptian radio, which came under state control in 1934 and refused to give them airtime.
