Majida El Roumi.. The angel of singing and the icon of high art on her birthday

On this day, December 13, one of the brightest stars of Arab art was born, Majida El Roumi, who enchanted the hearts of millions with her sweet voice and distinctive performance, earning the title of “Angel of Arab Singing.”

With her angelic voice and her laughter that carries an energy of purity and joy, Magda was able to carve her name into the history of Arabic song, becoming a symbol of high art and the human voice that speaks to the soul.

A brilliant artistic journey: from local stadiums to the world Majida El Roumi is not just a singer, she is an ambassador of high-end art that has transcended borders. She began her artistic journey in Lebanon, but quickly spread throughout the Arab world and internationally thanks to her angelic voice and distinctive works.

Magda has released 13 albums during her career, in which she collaborated with great poets and composers such as Nizar Qabbani and Kazem El Saher.

Her songs, such as “Kalimat,” “I Retired from Love,” and “Rasa’il,” have become milestones in the history of Arabic song.

One of her most famous artistic works is the song “Adam and Hanan,” which accompanied the immortal love story in Youssef Chahine’s film “The Other” in 1999.

The song, written by Gamal Bakhit and composed by Farouk Salama, added a timeless romantic touch to the film, and became one of the most beautiful songs celebrating love.

Voice of the homeland and hope Majida El Roumi is not only a singer of romance and love, she is the voice of the homeland and humanity. Her patriotic songs such as “Beirut, Lady of the World” and “The Earth Will Remain Arab” embodied the dreams and pains of the people of the region. “Beirut, Lady of the World,” written by Nizar Qabbani and composed by Jamal Salama, was a tribute to great Beirut in the midst of war and crises, and a message that the city will always rise from its ashes.

In 2019, Majida participated in the Arab Reading Challenge initiative with the song “The Land Will Remain Arab.” The song was a tribute to excellence and knowledge, and was attended by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, confirming the role of art in supporting cultural values.

In 2020, during the quarantine period, she released the song “Sing in All Languages,” a message of hope and optimism to the world, spreading joy in the souls of those exhausted by sadness and separation from loved ones.

Ambassador of fine art in everyone's hearts Majida El Roumi is not only a singer, but she is a symbol of culture and committed art.

She stood on the largest international stages, sang in front of kings and presidents of the world, and won many awards and honors, which made her worthy of the title of “the singer of intellectuals.”

Today, on her birthday, we celebrate Majida El Roumi as a voice that breathes life into hearts, and as an artist who carries a message of love, hope, and peace. Happy birthday, Majida, the flower of Arab art, and a symbol of giving and beauty.
