In its special position at the Mediterranean end of the Red Sea (also called Gulf of Suez), the city of Suez has been profoundly affected by the arts of the Red Sea, especially the art of clapping "El Kaf" which features in the seal of the city. Its rhythms have been influenced by those of Jeddah, as well as by the musical and rhythmic features of the Red Sea region. Suez is also famous for its heroic role in resisting the Israeli invasion in 1973. The music played a central role in charging the spirit of resistance: strengthened by the simsimya strings, the resistance sang for the rifle bullets.
