»›Kalthoum‹ is a tribute to women who changed the course of history and whose art continues to influence our lives today,« says Lebanese-French jazz trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf about his album dedicated to the great diva of Egyptian song, Umm Kulthum. The »Maria Callas of the Orient« is still remembered in the Arab world fifty years after her death. »›Kulthum‹ is the voice I have listened to most since my early childhood,« Maalouf recalls.
