One of Egypt’s most popular young munshids, Mohamed Youssef finds inspiring ways to pay tribute to Islamic music’s rich heritage. He alternates modern and traditional Islamic covers with a cappella recitations from the Quran, while his expressive music videos have gathered millions of views—numbers boosted by his travels as far as Morocco and Venezuela to spread his message of love and forgiveness. Stirringly arranged later singles stretch out to Arabic pop territory, where Youssef's warm, limber vocals and life-affirming melodies lay the groundwork for bigger things to come.
