Introduction
Oum Kalthoum was a beloved singer who became known as "The Voice of Egypt", "The Lady", the "Star of the East", and "The Fourth Pyramid". When she died in 1975, over 4 million Egyptians lined the streets for her funeral cortege. Today, Oum Kalthoum's music continues to be part of the soundtrack of modern Egyptian life, with radio and satellite television stations who play solely her music. Oum Kalthoum continues to inspire listeners all over the world. In 1978, three years after she passed, Bob Dylan told Playboy Magazine in an interview, "She's dead now but not forgotten. She's great. She really is. Really great." Many taxi drivers in Egypt tune their radios to stations that play her music. She was truly a great talent, and remains an important voice in world music. Because of Oum Kalthoum's enduring popularity, many belly dancers around the world today use her music for performances. Usually, dancers will use the instrumental overtures and interludes of her songs rather than dancing to the segments with her vocals. However, some dancers do make exceptions to this. My music collection contains over 200 albums specifically intended for use by belly dancers. Among these albums, more than 70 include danceable recordings of songs by Oum Kalthoum. These contain more than 150 music tracks, mostly instrumental, featuring 22 of her songs. All of these tracks are listed on this page, organized by song. I've sorted them according to the length of the track, with shortest first, to make it easy for dancers to identify which tracks might fit the needs of a particular show or classroom playlist. There are translations elsewhere on my web site for some, but not all of these songs. Where available, I've included a link to each song's translation. ABOUT THE IMAGE: This digital watercolor image of Oum Kalthoum was created by Misty Dawn Waggoner. Other ways you might see her name spelled are "Umm Kulthum", "Om Kalthom", "Oum Kalsoum", and similar variations. |
