Umm Kulthum is a star that compares to no one. She has her own category that where she rules as the sole royal. Her voice and style are only her own. But what made her the legend she has become is the love and dedication of her fans to her music. She started singing since she was a little girl and in the early and late twenties she lunched her won career on radio and concert halls around Egypt.
She kept singing for close to 50 years. Recently, the house of opera in Egypt opened up a room that has not been opened for a long time, and there they found a national treasure. 80 to a 100 records of some of the finest songs by Oum Kalthoum. Those songs came out early on her career, and now they have the records of such songs. Among the best discoveries is an old recording of her "ان كنت اسامح" If I am to forgive...you can hear the shaky recording and the voice of that era that we long to.
It was recorded in 1928 and established a new star that will go on and conquer the hearts of a nation. Other records were also found in that room for other artists dating back to 1932. Here's the song that told them in 1928 Oum Kalthoum is really something like no other.
ان كنت اسامح - ام كلثوم
