Oum Kalthoum | Unisex eco-friendly hoodie

A drawing by artist Marie-Claire Laffaire

A sovereign elegance, a voice that brings people together. Marie-Claire Laffaire pays tribute to Oum Kalthoum in a monochrome terracotta-red drawing, faithful to the singer's signature style. The Arabic inscription recalls her nickname, "The Star of the Orient": a presence that radiates as much through her voice as through her poise.

This portrait also celebrates the collective power of her music. An iconic voice of the Arab world, whose influence transcends the borders of the Maghreb and the Middle East, languages, and identities. When Oum Kalthoum sings, her voice becomes a meeting place, a shared emotion.

This unisex Oum Kalthoum artist hoodie brings this tribute to life in your everyday outfits. With jeans or under a jacket, it accompanies your days, carrying the elegance of the Star of the Orient and the memory of a unifying voice.

THE VOICE OF ARAB UNITY AND IDENTITY

OUM KALTHOUM (1902, approximate date-1975) - EGYPT

Oum Kalthoum, nicknamed "The Star of the Orient," "The Diva," the "Singer of the People," the "Nightingale of the Nile," or even the "Fourth Pyramid," is one of the greatest singers in the Arab world. Starting her career in 1922, she recorded hundreds of songs accompanied by a traditional orchestra that continued to grow in size. Through her art, she was able to unite Arabs beyond their divisions and is, in this regard, considered the voice of their identity and unity. Involved in the evolution of Egyptian society and the Arab nation, Oum Kalthoum sang of revolution, the evacuation of British forces from Egyptian territory, and became, with the rise to power of Nasser, the embodiment of Pan-Arabism. Her song Wallah Zaman Ya Silahi became, in 1960, the national anthem of the United Arab Republic.
