Who was Umm Kulthum?
Before streaming. Before social media. Before global pop stars. There was Umm Kulthum – the woman whose voice brought an entire region to a standstill.
Millions across the Arab world gathered around radios to hear her sing. Her concerts could last for hours. Heads of state admired her. Audiences crossed continents to see her perform. More than a singer, she became a symbol of resilience, artistry, and Arab identity.
