Sounds ripped from cassettes & CDs found in immigrant-run mom & pop stores. Deconstructed icons. Field recordings. Sonic mayhem from the far corners of the internet.

Favoriting January 21, 2015: Oum Sweet Oum
Oum Kalthoum is widely acknowledged to have been the greatest Arabic singer of all time and one of most popular singers in the world, period. Tonight we'll enjoy three solid hours of classic and rare tracks by her precursors and direct competition, some major collaborators, a few notable copycats, and of course the Voice of Egypt herself.

Just got your email - if Oum appears live on your show tonight Gary, my already insane level of appreciation for you will increase a thousandfold ;-)

Munira al-Mahdiyya was born in 1884 and cut her first record in 1906

The title of this song translates to "What Nerve You Have!"

A fitting song for the first native Egyptian Muslim woman to sing in front of men (according to legend, anyway)

Fathiyya Ahmad was considered Oum's primary competition in the 20s. She retired in 1929, tho.

I had big plans to go out for ramen tonight, but they fell through. So i'm sticking this out for the long haul and eating whatever i can scrape off the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.

I read a great accounting of an Egyptian Jewish family that emigrated to Israel, and when they soon found themselves in a bomb shelter, all the elders huddled around a radio listening to Oum Kalthoum, longing for their youth.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:25pm
Gary:

Carl, I need that book! Do you recall the title? It sounds like something I was eyeing in the bookstore last week
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:34pm
Cubicle Carl:

I wish I remembered it. I'll peruse my collection and see if something rings a bell and I'll email you. There is another book, a memoir, with a similar theme, that features Oum Kalthoum prominently - "The Man In The White Sharkskin Suit" by Lucette Lagnado.
