![]() Umm Kulthum - Star of the East Friends of Umm Kulthum Al Atlal (The Ruins) Sung by Umm Kulthum, recorded in concert in Tunis Music by Riad Al-Sonbati, Lyrics by Ibrahim Nagi "Tunisian
audiences went wild at the concert and during Umm
Kulthum's visit. She told a journalist of the trip:
"When I see these people, I realize I can never give
them as much as they give me." Her visit to Tunisia
coincided with the breaking off of relations between
Egypt and Tunisia. Umm Kulthum met with President
Bourguiba for hours, and a few days later,
diplomatic relations were restored between the two
countries." source
