THE VOICE OF ARAB UNITY AND IDENTITY

OUM KALTHOUM (approx. 1902–1975) - EGYPT

Oum Kalthoum, nicknamed "The Star of the Orient," "The Diva," "The People's Singer," "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 several hundred songs accompanied by a traditional orchestra that continued to grow. Through her art, she succeeded in uniting Arabs beyond their divisions and is, in this capacity, considered the voice of Arab identity and unity. Involved in the evolution of Egyptian society and the Arab nation, Oum Kalthoum sang of the revolution and the evacuation of British forces from Egyptian territory, and with the rise of Nasser to power, she became the embodiment of Pan-Arabism. Her song Wallah Zaman Ya Silahi became the national anthem of the United Arab Republic in 1960.
