We explore Oshtoora, a unique desert festival in Egypt that redefined the festival experience. Youssef Atoine, one of its founders, shares how the event blended music, nature, and community. The episode celebrates innovation in festival formats and the rise of alternative music spaces. Similar to Tunisia, where new forms of festivals are emerging, Oshtoora reflects how such initiatives can impact cultural expression and foster innovation in the music scene.
