Music As A Weapon

Ramy Essam: The Singer Of The Egyptian Revolution on NPR

Musician Ramy Essam, 23, says he was tortured while under the custody of the Egyptian military after being rounded up with several other protesters in Tahrir Square on March 9.

Essam was a little-known young guitarist until he gained fame by putting his fellow Egyptians' protest chants to music.

He performed one of those songs, called "Leave," about former President Hosni Mubarak, on stage at Tahrir Square with thousands singing along, and video of the show became a hit on YouTube.
