CAIRO – 4 May 2022: Planet of the East Umm Kulthum, and El-Sawy Culture Wheel Puppet Theater Troupe will perform two concerts on May 5 at 6 pm and 8 pm in El-Sawy Culture Wheel's Al-Hikma Hall, within the "Umm Kulthum Returns" project.

 

 

 

 

The troupe will be led by Mohamed Abdel Moneim El-Sawy who will be moving Umm Kulthum’s puppet.

 

 

 

 

Umm Kulthum will present two songs, the first is "Laylat Hob" [A Night of Love], which was first sung by Umm Kulthum in 1973, and united her with the poet Ahmed Shafiq Kamel, and the musician Mohamed Abdel Wahab for the last time.

 

 

 

 

The lady of Arab singing will also perform a song from the year 1968, “Hathehe Laylaty” [This is my night], written by Georges Jardaq. This song was composed by Mohamed Abdel Wahab for Umm Kulthum after he composed the song “Enta Omry”  [You Are My Life”, and was the first love song she sang after the 1967 war.
