The elegance of a portrait, the memory of a voice. Marie-Claire Laffaire pays tribute to Oum Kalthoum in a terracotta monochrome drawing, faithful to the singer’s allure. The inscription in Arabic features her nickname, "Star of the Orient," echoing her radiance.

THE VOICE OF ARAB UNITY AND IDENTITY

OUM KALTHOUM (approx. 1902–1975) - EGYPT

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