About OM Kalthom

It broadcasts her legendary concerts, long-form songs (waslat), and rare recordings 24/7. The station’s primary focus is on streaming her timeless music and honoring her cultural legacy, offering listeners around the world access to her classic repertoire of Arabic and Oriental songs. It broadcasts primarily in Arabic, catering to fans of traditional Arab music and those who admire classical vocal performances from the golden era of 20th‑century music. The station’s playlist is dedicated almost exclusively to the works of Umm Kulthum, featuring her iconic songs and long‑form vocal performances. Given her catalog frequently includes pieces that stretch well beyond conventional pop song lengths, often blending poetry, classical Arabic melodies, and dramatic orchestration, listeners can experience deep, immersive musical sessions that feel closer to a bygone era of music radio.
