Travelling really sucks sometimes. Jammed into a metro car or on an airplane with about a million other people can be a stressful, sweaty, and smelly experience. The gross feeling of having other people smooshed up against you and, God forbid, having to talk to them can be enough to put you in a bad mood for the rest of the day. It sucks and we hate it.

But now the guys from El Mazzikateya are popping up to brighten the drudgery of forced human contact by performing, flashmob style, on airplanes and on metro trains.

Not only does a spirited rendition of Egyptian folk tunes played on classic instruments make the mind-numbing commute or flight less miserable, it can downright make you feel feelings - not like the usual apathy and cold ennui either.

Now they’ve sprung up again in the Cairo Metro tunnels to surprise all the human-sardines with humourous Christmas carols.

Damn, if that doesn’t make us just feel cheerful. Ugh, we’re going to be sick.
