00:30Welcome to MEDIEN TV, the cult of Oum Keltoum is still alive, born around 1900 in a village

00:49in the Nile Delta.

00:50Oum Keltoum died on February 3, 1975.

00:54The greatest duty of the Arab world was granted by everyone, all social classes, confused.

01:01From Cairo to Damascus, every first Thursday of the month, life stopped from 10 p.m. until

01:08the end of the night.

01:09Little and old were listening to the voice of Cairo, the radio where the Mother of Peoples

01:15was broadcast.

01:16She interpreted two or three love songs.

01:19I suggest you listen to this Egyptian citizen.

01:23The presence of Oum Keltoum is not limited to this cafe, it is always present in all

01:29the streets and all the cafes in Egypt.

01:32It is the custom to savor a drink while listening to a song from her.

01:36She is everywhere in Egypt.

01:38When things get old, they become antiquities that are kept in a showcase or in a museum.

01:44Oum Keltoum will never disappear, she will always be present.

01:49Some will listen to her songs, others will not, but they all know her value.

01:54She resembles all the women of Egypt, their voices, their fashion and their way.

01:59She embodies the essence of my home, my family and my country.

02:19The Egyptian singer Oum Keltoum died 50 years ago.

02:37Her look, her timbre and her story made her a legend like no other.

02:43Oum Keltoum is always present in every corner of the street through her songs.

03:12It creates a pleasant atmosphere.

03:14It is a good thing that people still like to listen to her, as well as other artists

03:18of her generation.

03:19I really like Oum Keltoum because her songs convey many emotions.

03:25You can really feel the lyrics when she sings them.

03:29Her songs are totally different from what we listen to today.

04:17When Oum Keltoum begins to sing, it is not the bewitching voices that were missing.

04:24Fayrouz, Mahen or Leila Murad.

04:26Oum Keltoum was, of course, and above all, a voice of strong exception, forged by the

04:31Quranic recitations.

04:33The latter made everyone agree with her arrival in Cairo in 1923.

04:38At the age of 30, the diva of an island finally emancipated herself by performing with a real

04:44orchestra with violins, qanun, oud and darbouka, and brand new love songs, more in phase with

04:51this post-Nahda era that began in the middle of the 19th century.

04:56Let's listen to this excerpt of Oum Keltoum.
