Umm Kulthum has been a significant influence on a number of musicians, both in the Arab World and beyond. Among others, Jah Wobble has claimed her as a significant influence on his work. Bob Dylan has been quoted as saying, "She's great. She really is. Really great. Maria Callas, Jean-Paul Sartre, Marie Laforêt, Salvador Dalí, Nico, Bono, Farin Urlaub, and Led Zeppelin are also known to be admirers of Kulthum's music. (quoted from wikipedia)
Ad to it an impeccable image. She is simply in a league of her own. More than an icon, more than an obelisk, more than a pyramid. Her voice is the path to eternal beauty and to God, for those who believe in creation. That's all there is to say.
I am 53 ans I can tell you she is the only singer that makes me cry!! Abdel Halim is great, so are Brassens, Ferre, Brel (for the French speakers). So are Morrison, Dylan, etc... for the American. So are Pavaroti, La Callas, for Opera. BUT OUM KULTHOUM makes me cry...that is how beautiful and powerful her singing is.
Um Kulthum had a contralto vocal range.she can sing as low as the 2nd octave, and the ability to sing as high as 9th octaves at her vocal peak.Her remarkable ability to produce 14,000 vibrations/second with her vocal cords,unparalleled vocal strength (no commercial mic for singing can withstand its strength forcing her to stand at 1-2meter radius away, her voice's unique breathtaking beauty over convention made her the most incomparable voice of all time
nothing like um kulthum voice in all this world........eventhough if you don't understand what she says, this is not a human vioce, this is an instrument with a soul......what power ! what improvisation ! she stands 1 meter away from mic in a large outdoor stage...........who dare to this these days?
Seriously, these comments aren't needed on every single one of her video postings. If she is so 'overrated,' then why are you looking up her songs and commenting on them? get a life!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
she always sings the same odl boring way over and over and over agin ITS SO BORING , its betetr just to have musical instruments they have much much mroe emontion then she ever did ,
and abdel halim usues beauiful words with the music to achieve his great musical impact ,
strnge that I am the oppisite of you. I hate Halim and I can not stand his songs, so I really close my ears when I hear his voice,,, but I adore Omm Kolthoum and I love her voice,,,,It is a matter of taste anyway.
nice to meet the exact oppsite of me LOL , NICE TO MEET U i cannot stand oum kalthoum just the way she sings , to me is super annoying , and no matetr how loud i bring up halim it still dose nto annoy me it will never annoy me your the exact oppsite LOL ,
thats good that you feel that way , your opinion is OK with me , BUT , to actually HATE and to close your ears to my view as easily the best singer period. Is a great loss TO YOU , i hope you will in the future appreciated such an GREAT artist .
The golden age of arts .. Om Kalthoum still is the queen of 'tarab'.. Cheers to everyone who appreciates her voice whether they are Arabic speaking or not.
I copied this from a loaned video from a little moroccan shop 20 years ago.There was no label on it,so it must already have been copied, wich explains the terrible quality!. !) However I am sure it is a concert in open air in the evening !maybe someone else,seeing this tube ,knows the answer??? I'm sorry not to be able to answer your question. salama min belgium
Her songs can last 2 hours sometimes. They are too long to post on you tube. People tend to have parts of a song. To be honest, there's more in a small oum kolthoum song section than a whole song by another artist.
I am sorry,I can not upload the whole thing anymore,I wiped off half of the concert(the most beautiful parts of course ! and part of another greek docu. also!,made me VERY sad!)trying to put this on youtube.I'll put another part on soon!
