Episode description
This episode is all about Fatima Ibrahim El-Beltagy, but you probably know her as Umm Kulthum. She is considered one of the greatest voices of the Arab world, a woman whose talent transcended borders and generations.
Umm Kulthum, known as 'The Star of the East,' was more than just a singer; she was an icon, a symbol of Arab culture, and an embodiment of the beauty and power of music. Born in rural Egypt in the early 1900s, Umm Kulthum's story is one of struggle, resilience, and unmatched artistry.
