On 14 July 1944, a car carrying Asmahan and a female friend of hers crashed into the River Nile after the driver lost control. Without a door on their side both ladies got stuck and drowned. Nevertheless, the driver managed to escape.
there's controversy about whether or not the driver really did lose control. Some people believe that it was actually her family who sent someone to kill her because of her scandalous actions. Also, there are some theories that Ulm Kulthum couldn't handle the competition so she sent someone to kill her. Just FYI if you didn't already know. :)
@Sw3raq1 the driver also was never found. thus hinting a possible assassination and the involvement of the driver. The most likely governments behind the assassinations are the british and israeli government. However, theories state that the British and Israelis planned the assassination. The assassination itself was carried by the corrupt Egyptian government at that time. Very sad to lose someone like this. Extremely hard, if not impossible for another phenomena like Asmahan to rise again! RIP
Who's the funny mustache'd actor next to Yousef Wahby ? pretending movments like charly Chaplin , any ideas ? Amazing talent Esmahan and heavenly voice. Thanks for the posting .
the british killed her coz she had too much info about them... !! she worked in freeing Syria from the french !! her daughter lives in Mount Lebanon now !
Thank u very much brother, El Basateen graveyard was my starting point to search which made me find a lot of useful information I didn't know. God bless them & u.
usually Druze people have green eyes, how come ??? well it shows that the Middle East is not only islamic and arabic, but the region has a very ancient and diverse history so many cultures, nations, religions etc....like assyrians, jews, greeks, persians, foenicians romans crusaders etc etc
Ferid al atrash and Amal al atrahs's family from Ottoman - Lebonan area. Their father was a good officer of Ottoman Empire. both of them's songs beatiful, exactly voice and music. this Egyptian films showed cinemas in Turkiye in 1940s and 1950s. i know many songs in Turkish from Ferid al Atrash.selam and thanks for clips.
It doesn't matter where she was from u ignorant idiots, in the end we all speak the same language and we're all ARAB...if we can't listen to music peacefully, can we do anything else peacefully? No wonder our countries are in deep shit right now!!!!!
Anyways, this song is amazing, Asmahan is truly a legend!!!!!
She is ASMAHAN, Amirah Amal Al Atrash, The Druze Princess. Born in Syria, spent a few years in Lebanon, and raised in Egypt. She did come from Syria, but calls Egypt her home. Does it really matter where she's from? She gave us all a gift for Gods sake!
I don't think we should be fighting, we should be enjoying the gift Asmahan has left for us, and that is her Golden voice.
her mother is from lebanon !! and she spend her life with her mother !!! she use to speak in lebanese not in syrian !! she did not liked to live in syria with her nefew !! these things are a fact !!
I love this song, being a swahili speaker helps as we use a lot of arabic words. She belongs to the world.....stop arguing and listen ( as well as look ) instead.
asmahan is half lebanese half syrian and grew up in syria lebanon egypt , she had no contact with her father so she lived as a lebanese girl with her lebanese mother who taught her how to be trendy and modern just like all beautiful lebanese women and girls , and she spoke only lebanees with family , and egyptian with her friends in egypt !!! she is the ultimate DIVA !!
Actually, her father was Syrian and her mother is Lebanese. Her mother is from the same village my grandmother is from and her father is related to Sultan Basha al Atrash.
what does it matter, Lebanon and Syria were once together and have the same heritage. People used to migrate back and forth between what is now Syria and Lebanon a long time ago. So you or your relatives might of come from Lebanon and my relatives might of come from Syria
A wonderful example of the golden age of arabic music. This composition is featured in Simon Shaheens "Aswat: the Golden Age of Arabic Music" currently touring in the United States. Dr Shaheen's concert is a wonderful tribute to the beauty and elegance of classical arabic music.
I love that so many comments are posted in English by Saudi, Syrian, Lebanese, and Egyptian posters who all seem to hate each other and want Asmahan for their own. This is not about all posters obviously; I just find it funny that the English defined these countries after WWI, and now you're all using that language to curse each other.
Who cares about her nationality. The important thing is that she's a diva and for her this question is not what mattered. She was both Egyptian and Syrian and Lebanese even though everybody knows that she was a Druz princess. Stop asking such meaningless questions.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
She was 100% Syrian you fucking lebanese cunt. you are a lebanese thief that steal Syrian persons and claim them as you own. And fuck Rafik Harriri that saudi slave.
Stop being crazy. Syria and Lebanon and Jordan and Palestine (and then Israel) were all artificial creations of the French and British after World War I.
The region of all four (five?) countries is similar, while also having differences that one would expect to find in a center of world culture for the past 5000 years.
Syria claims all of Lebanon is for them your the ones always trying to steal everything Lebanese always fighting to take our country. fuck ur mom u fuckin 7umse
its Syrians that steal ;) and they are our bitch slaves too
The only one that steal other people history here is you Lebanese, Asmahan is Syrian and you Lebanese are jealous and want to steal what belongs to Syria.
True, some of the Druze are from Kurdish origins , hence the names Aslan... Yazbak, in reference to Uzbekistan...etc, but some also are from Yemen... The Arab world is not so homogeneous as some nationalist would like to think. Before the Muslim "fateh", the whole region was filled with Syriacs, Aramaic, Armenians, Greeks, Byzantines, Copts, Berber, Jews and so forth....
My brother if you belong to a big family. it shoud be same people race.. and where is the diffrent.. we are all human being.. kurd or arab.. thanks för your comment anyway
no you lyed. Asmahan is a Syrian druze, Syrian druze are genetically Arabs and not the same people as the kurdish druze that live in lebanon and Palestine.
I am a Lebanese Druze and I assure you that me and my relatives are Arabs and are not Kurdish. I don't know where you get your information from but it is false. There aren't even that many Kurds in Lebanon. Most Druze in Lebanon are descended from Arab tribes. Please stop trying to convince people that Lebanese and Palestinian Druze are Kurds because they're not. If you don't know what you're talking about don't say anything and you clearly don't know what you're talking about.
Many Druze in Lebanon and Syria are related and like I said before many Druze from Syria have ancestors from Lebanon and many Druze in Lebanon have ancestors from Syria. If you know your history you'd know that Lebanon and Syria were once called Greater Syria and it was one region.
How am I an idiot. You clearly don't know anything about Druze so don't pretend like you know. You know, I am starting to believe that most of the people in this world are stupid and ignorant because of people on Youtube. The people on this website are completely low and narrow-minded.

Listening to music and singing is a sin and cause for the sickening and weakening of the heart. The majority of the scholars of the Salaf are unanimous that listening to music and singing and using musical instruments is Haram (prohibited).
And they is more if you wanna know it.
If you are a Druze I can also tell you what Al Hakim said about music.
In your own believe, may be singing is prohibited, which carries many wonder marks! Yet you are free even in believing that singing grows horns to the head! Bring a prove from Qura'an!!!!
I also knew a sheikh who raped a little girl, and when he died and the other sheikhs was about to read FATIHA for him a dog came an pisst on hs body! Éverybody comits haram even the sheikhs. BUT Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah killed the poets with many Kafir like Jews and Christians. May Allah have mercy opon there souls.
Don't call Arab Christians Kafir, how dare you? We don't choose our religion, I'm Lebanese and in my country we all live in peace, help each other. After all we all worship the same God. Take back your words you Ahbel
Yes and don't try to re-interpret the words of God to fit your own twisted view of the world. God chose fit to manifest himself in many different ways to the world. We should be content with the religion of our birth. Read the Koran carefully, read all holy books carefully. Not enough people do these days.
Neither should we be disrespecting such fine music by arguing. Just listen, look and enjoy!
You are talking non-sense. Qura'an didn't prohibit singing. Prohibiting art in general is the culture of the backwards. Anyway, you could always avoid watching (or hearing) songs, but never apply your own rules to others. Every body is free to believe in whatever he wants to believe in.
You are very wrong. I'm as a druze belive in one god and what god told the prohets to tell us. you can't belive in whatever you want. you cant say "I belive in to gods" and then walk around happy god will punish you for your sins. And I tell my brothers and sister these things so they know it's haram. then its they job to keep they IMAN srong so they don't faild to SATAN!
Still من شاء فليؤمن ومن شاء فليكفر. All what you have said is a matter of your own believe, but you have no right to judge others believe (Specially that even within Muslim community, some Muslims may look at your statement about singing as a corruption in your own believe!) God only who can determine who has the closest right faith, for whatsoever your job is just following what you believe in, and wait until the judgment day!
Its not a Turkish flag (its green, but obviously you cant tell in this), notice the three stars. Its the old flag of the Kingdom of Egypt. 1922 - 1952
The flag at the back is the older Egyptian Flag, Green w a white creasent and 3 stars. After the Monarchy was abolished the flag changed to the current red, white n black stripes w golden eagle in the middle.
قتلها الدروز من أهلها لجهلهم ومطاردتهم للفنانات. لم يدركوا أن قتلها لن ينهيها أبدا. رحمها الله ماتت في ال 25 من العمر وهي في قمة العطاء، وهذا لفرحة أم كلثوم وغيرها. صوتها فوق أي صوت، فإلى جانبها أم كلثوم صفر. ما أشبهها بفريد الأطرش
و بعدين اسمهان من مواليد 1912 و ماتت 1944 يبقى 25 اذاى؟ و أم كلثوم مواليد 1898 يعنى أكبر منها بحوالى 14 سنه يعنى كانت وصلت و اتربعت على عرش الغناء من قبل أسمهان ما يتسمعلها صوت فى مصر فماكنتش مستنيه موت الست أسمهان عشان تسبت وجودها
the german intelligence of hitler killed her.. and it was well documented that the german Nazi intelligence had info that she supports english british and allies intelligence during world war 2
W all due respect she and Om Kalthom are both amazing and Om Kalthom was already successful so, y would she b happy. Its better we appreciate 2 great singers than diss one of them no? Also, its is well known that she had some relations w the Germans (probably to help her own ppl) so, its been rumored that it was the Brits who were behind her unfortunate fate.
The Druze (Arabic: درزي, derzī or durzī, plural دروز, durūz) are a religious community found primarily in Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine whose traditional religion is said to have begun as an offshoot of the Ismaili sect of Islam, but is unique in its incorporation of Gnostic, neo-Platonic and other philosophies
Thanks Moonshine725. Do you know a song that's sung partly in Arabic and partly in French that starts out Ya Ya Ya Moustafa, ana behebek ya moustafa...? What is the name of that song? Shukrun
fareed alatrash is amazing hes a legend genius and a very kind hearted man evryone knows that about him he has the best voice and compositions in the world to prove that he was the only person from the arab world that got the "khouloud" award from france he was also the only one called the king of the oud from not only arabs but from turkey
hes the best and will never be replaced no matter what because people as talented as him dont come and go I LOVE YOU 7ABIBI FAREED ALATRASH ALLAH YER7AMAK
I wonder how many other fantastic movies from the Middle East we are missing in the west and would like to see. Too bad there isn't more of an exchange of cultures. I've heard of Umm Kolthum but not Asmahan, she is fantastic also. Thanks Shukran
I have never heard of her before. I just read Dreams of Trespass and wanted to find out more about her. Not only was she beautiful but talented as well. Umm Kolthum is my favorite of the two, I love Ashmahan now also.
I do not mind be proud that she was Druz or whatsoever, but we limit her by saying that, cuz she was Arabic artist, and actually Egypt is the soil which she grow in, it is like you telling me it's only Druz she belong to us only, which I do not think that she herself would like that
Asmahan (Arabic: أسمهان; birth name: Amal al-Atrash) (1918-1944) was a famous Egyptian - Syrian singer and actor who lived in Egypt and sang most of her songs in Egyptian Arabic. She was the sister of Farid al-Atrash, a famous singer in his own right, and a member of the famous Atrash family known for its role in the resistance against the French mandate in the 1920s.

I also knew a sheikh who raped a little girl, and when he died and the other sheikhs was about to read FATIHA for him a dog came an pisst on hs body! Éverybody comits haram even the sheikhs. BUT Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah killed the poets with many Kafir like Jews and Christians. May Allah have mercy opon there souls.

Don't call Arab Christians Kafir, how dare you? We don't choose our religion, I'm Lebanese and in my country we all live in peace, help each other. After all we all worship the same God. Take back your words you Ahbel

No I'm not gonna take the words of God back! It is clearly written in the Holy Book 'Hikma'.
and I will never knell to those who belive in Jesus as son of God. May Allah have mercy opon there souls.
And I don't think lebnan is so peace full as you say.

Libnan is peaceful, how do you know what's going on there? You, my fellow arab have no idea about the world. Get educated and come back to reality

Yes and don't try to re-interpret the words of God to fit your own twisted view of the world. God chose fit to manifest himself in many different ways to the world. We should be content with the religion of our birth. Read the Koran carefully, read all holy books carefully. Not enough people do these days.
Neither should we be disrespecting such fine music by arguing. Just listen, look and enjoy!

You are talking non-sense. Qura'an didn't prohibit singing. Prohibiting art in general is the culture of the backwards. Anyway, you could always avoid watching (or hearing) songs, but never apply your own rules to others. Every body is free to believe in whatever he wants to believe in.

You are very wrong. I'm as a druze belive in one god and what god told the prohets to tell us. you can't belive in whatever you want. you cant say "I belive in to gods" and then walk around happy god will punish you for your sins. And I tell my brothers and sister these things so they know it's haram. then its they job to keep they IMAN srong so they don't faild to SATAN!

Still من شاء فليؤمن ومن شاء فليكفر. All what you have said is a matter of your own believe, but you have no right to judge others believe (Specially that even within Muslim community, some Muslims may look at your statement about singing as a corruption in your own believe!) God only who can determine who has the closest right faith, for whatsoever your job is just following what you believe in, and wait until the judgment day!

Its not a Turkish flag (its green, but obviously you cant tell in this), notice the three stars. Its the old flag of the Kingdom of Egypt. 1922 - 1952

The flag at the back is the older Egyptian Flag, Green w a white creasent and 3 stars. After the Monarchy was abolished the flag changed to the current red, white n black stripes w golden eagle in the middle.

قتلها الدروز من أهلها لجهلهم ومطاردتهم للفنانات. لم يدركوا أن قتلها لن ينهيها أبدا. رحمها الله ماتت في ال 25 من العمر وهي في قمة العطاء، وهذا لفرحة أم كلثوم وغيرها. صوتها فوق أي صوت، فإلى جانبها أم كلثوم صفر. ما أشبهها بفريد الأطرش

W all due respect she and Om Kalthom are both amazing and Om Kalthom was already successful so, y would she b happy. Its better we appreciate 2 great singers than diss one of them no? Also, its is well known that she had some relations w the Germans (probably to help her own ppl) so, its been rumored that it was the Brits who were behind her unfortunate fate.

The Druze (Arabic: درزي, derzī or durzī, plural دروز, durūz) are a religious community found primarily in Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine whose traditional religion is said to have begun as an offshoot of the Ismaili sect of Islam, but is unique in its incorporation of Gnostic, neo-Platonic and other philosophies

I do not mind be proud that she was Druz or whatsoever, but we limit her by saying that, cuz she was Arabic artist, and actually Egypt is the soil which she grow in, it is like you telling me it's only Druz she belong to us only, which I do not think that she herself would like that

Asmahan (Arabic: أسمهان; birth name: Amal al-Atrash) (1918-1944) was a famous Egyptian - Syrian singer and actor who lived in Egypt and sang most of her songs in Egyptian Arabic. She was the sister of Farid al-Atrash, a famous singer in his own right, and a member of the famous Atrash family known for its role in the resistance against the French mandate in the 1920s.
