Al Jeel is a style of Dance-Pop that first emerged in the 1970s, as an alternative to Sha'abi. Al Jeel takes influences from foreign Pop music and uses rhythms that resemble those of Reggae, but still has a distinctly Egyptian sound. The danceable beat of Al Jeel is generally produced by a drum machine, but the genre also makes use of traditional Arabic instrumentation. One of the most famous Al Jeel performers is Hamid El Shaeri.
