Naema Akef 78 Record - I Sing And Dance(1) - Bread And Salt (1944)

Classic Egyptian cinema star, belly dancer, singer and actress Naema Akef (1929-1966) sings two songs on a 78 rpm record from her first film Al-Eïch wal malh (Bread and Salt). The label is the same on both sides so only one song is identified. Several sources give release dates of 1949 and 1944.

I found this 78 in a flea market in Richmond VA in the mid-90s and I have prized it ever since. I would really enjoy it if someone would please translate the Arabic on the record label...? Please excuse the audio limitations of this (at least) 60-year-old disc.

Second attempt with Windows Movie Maker, animating screen shots.
