Kareem Emad Gaber, known by his artistic name El Waili, is an Egyptian music producer from Upper Egypt with a taste for trippy melodies and futuristic infusions of Chaabi and electronic music. El Waili's journey began in 2020, as he embarked on a sonic exploration, experimenting with noises and sounds that would define his signature “beat drop.” His early releases, “2010” and the iconic remix of “El-3bd Wa El Waili,” solidified his position as a pioneer of electro-chaabi/EDM music. Since launching his project, El Waili has positioned himself as a creative hub, collaborating with emerging artists across the Arab music scene—spanning Trap, Pop, Rap, Mahraganat, and Electro Chaabi.
