Today marks the birthday of the legendary singer Asmahan, who captivated audiences with her angelic voice and quiet beauty. Despite her short career in the music industry, Asmahan managed to make a mark in the history of Arabic music. As a child, Asmahan was not expected to become a singer, but her family noticed her love for listening to records of famous singers. One day, she surprised her family by singing with a beautiful voice, leading them to realize her talent. Asmahan's brother, the late artist Farid Al-Atrash, was her greatest supporter and they performed together in 1931 in a concert that brought them both fame. Asmahan's talent also convinced renowned composers of the time to work with her, including Mohammed Al-Qasabji and Riad Al-Sunbati. As a result, Asmahan competed with giants of classical Arabic music such as Umm Kulthum and became a star in her own right. She is remembered for her distinct voice, grace, and elegance.
