Warda has been called the “heir to Oum Kalthoum’s throne” (Oum Kalthoum, “the star of the East,” is the most popular Arabic singer in history. She died in 1975; her funeral was bigger than Nasser’s.) because her roots are in Oum Kalthoum’s traditional style of Arabic song. She has an amazing voice and emotional range. She is Algerian in origin (also known as Warda al-Jaza’iriyya) but sings in the Egyptian dialect. This is a deeply moving ballad; I especially like the rhythm and tempo changes.
