Al Malika

listening to um-kalthoum aka al malika…i LOVE this woman she is simply perfection…i’ve been listening to her since i was a child and i can never get over her voice and her strength…i think my love for her developed because of baba, i think he’s her ultimate fan he knows every single word to every single one of her songs…whenever we’re flipping through channels and she comes on i mute and give baba a pop quiz and he ALWAYS gets the song right… he can listen to part of the music, no lyrics and tell what the song is

my 1st time “listening” to um-kalthoum came through baba…he sang “enta el 7ob” to me and i fell in love…after listening to um-kalthoum myself i understood baba’s love for her..the arab world’s love to her: she is truly a QUEEN

she’s on rotana tarab right now and baba just walked in…she’s OUR bond…growing up i was so jealous that my sister spent hours talking to baba, confiding in him but i was never able to i just didn’t know how to “talk” to him…mama told baba how i felt and one day without any indication that he knew he asked if i wan ted to go for a ride i said yes…we drove around all over kuwait listening to um-kalthoum we didn’t say a word it was just the two of us and her..we would come home by the time the song was over and i was HAPPY…we bonded through her…we haven’t done that in a while but whenever she’s on we call each other or give each other a look and we know…i even called him once with an ihda’a and he was in a meeting o ma 6anashny! he listened said “ok baba” and hung up…i love him and i love her

is this post about baba or um-kalthoum? i’m lost
