THE VOICES THAT UNITED THE ARAB WORLD – Abdel Nasser & Umm Kulthoum

Details

Description

Before satellite TV and social media, one tool united the Arab world — radio. Through its waves, Gamal Abdel Nasser, the revolutionary leader, and Umm Kulthoum, the diva of the century, became myths that transcended Egypt’s borders.

In this video, we explore how these two iconic figures captured the hearts, dreams, and imaginations of millions across the Arab world. Nasser spoke of liberation, unity, and pride. Umm Kulthoum sang of love, longing, and eternity. Together, they formed the emotional and ideological backbone of pan-Arab identity in the 1950s and 60s.

Discover how radio was utilised to build a cultural and political legacy still echoing today.
