Fantôme Phonographique present a reissue of Umm Kulthum's (Oum Kalthoum) The Twinkling Star,
originally released in 1961. Kalthoum is a legendary Egyptian vocalist
and one of the biggest celebrities of the 20th century Arab world. She
was dubbed "the voice of Egypt" and "Egypt's fourth pyramid", and is
considered a national treasure. This 1961 album originally released on
Parlophone is one of the finest examples of her vocal ability and a
beautiful example of mid-20th century Egyptian popular music. Kalthoum
counts among her legion of fans none other than Bob Dylan, Robert Plant, Bono, and Youssou N'Dour, along with most of the Arab speaking world, and this LP is one of the finest of her career. An absolute legend!
