Travis Scott’s Egypt Concert Axed Over Alleged Strange Rituals

CAIRO – The Egyptian Syndicate of Musical Professions has canceled the highly anticipated concert of US rapper Travis Scott, set to take place on July 28 at the iconic Giza pyramids. The decision came as the syndicate expressed concerns over the star’s alleged “strange rituals” that were deemed offensive to Egyptian traditions. This move marks a rare opposition to a musical event by the syndicate, which typically grants permits for performances near the capital, Cairo.

The Battle Against Controversial Genres

In recent years, the Egyptian Syndicate of Musical Professions has been at the forefront of a campaign against music genres considered improper in Egypt, with rap and hip-hop being frequent targets. The syndicate’s stance reflects the country’s growing disapproval of what it perceives as a “rewriting” of its history, particularly with regard to claims of cultural ties between African American social movements and the ancient pharaohs.

Preserving Ancestral Customs and Traditions

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the syndicate emphasized its commitment to upholding ancestral customs and traditions, emphasizing that it does not interfere with musical performances that align with Egyptian values. However, after scrutinizing Travis Scott’s social media content and positions, the syndicate uncovered information about rituals that were deemed incompatible with Egyptian traditions, leading to the cancellation of the concert.

Prioritizing Security and Approvals

The Egyptian Syndicate of Musical Professions stressed the importance of prioritizing security considerations and obtaining approvals from relevant authorities when organizing concerts. Such measures, according to the syndicate, are essential to protect the masses and ensure the stability and security of the country. While it has been open to various forms of artistic expression, the syndicate remains committed to safeguarding societal values and the rich customs and traditions of Egypt and the Arab world.
