CLEG is back ... Weekly Agenda Music Aug. 7 - Aug. 13

Hope you are all having a wonderful summer. CLEG is back for what I am sure will be another exciting cultural season in Cairo. It is still a bit slow now, with summer and beginning of Ramadan season concomitating, but things usually pick up around the second half of the Ramadan month. Keep tuned!
