It has been a decade since the revolution started, mid-January in 2011, in Tunisia and Egypt. Later, the uprisings reached other countries to express anger and frustration towards oppressive governments.

To commemorate the series of events that started 10 years ago, we present this playlist. It represents an act of self-reflection of what happened and pondering what will happen. It encompasses rage, sadness, nostalgia but also hope – perhaps the most essential of them all.
