Oum Kaltoum Will Outlives us All

If you or anyone wants to make an Oum Kalthoum mix tape or a best of, chances you will have this song on your list. Inta 'Omry and Sirt Al Hob are another great ones from this legendary and iconic singer, but this is another Oum Kalthoum classic. Her voice needs no description, her fame lives one and her songs will outlive us all.

So, every now and then I come across a song of hers that moves me, a song that evokes memories of me growing up and listening to this old radio in the noon hour when the radio has her on for two hours...and I know it would be a slow day and she will always be there back with a new song of hers that dazzles.

Her songs serve another purpose now, they are like a campus that helps us decide whose voice among the Arab singers is worth listening to. No Arab celebrity can be taken seriously until they cover one song of hers and live to the comparison of delivery. We all know her songs and can judge the quality of the voice of an Arab singer by her songs.
