In this afikra FWD presentation, recorded on July 17th 2023, Mustapha Kammoun joins us from Berlin to talk about Sélim Nassib's novel "I Loved You For Your Voice" that's based on the life of Umm Kulthum. The book is told through the eyes of poet Ahmed Ramy, the man who wrote her lyrics and loved her in vain. Mustapha dives into their relationship, unrequited love, their music and her iconic "voice that sets pain free."All community presentations are prepared and presented by non-experts on the subject.
