Umm Kulthum (Arabic: أم كلثوم, born فاطمة إبراهيم البلتاجي, Fatima Ibrahīm al-Baltagī) (December 31, 1904–February 3, 1975) in Al Senbellawein was an Egyptian singer, songwriter, and an actress. She is known as "the Star of the East". More than three decades after her death, she is still recognized as the Arab world's most famous and distinguished singer of the 20th century
She was referred to as the Lady by Charles De Gaulle, and was regarded as the Incomparable Voice by Maria Callas. Umm Kulthum has been a significant influence on a number of musicians, both in the Arab world and beyond. Among others, Jah Wobble has claimed her as a significant influence on his work.
