In “Laylet Hob” (A Night of Love) we hear Arabic music and poetry in perfect symbiosis. The rich and lengthy instrumental intro is just a precursor of the emotion present in this song.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe talent of the composer is underlined by how he utilizes the traditional style of singing poetry in a more open and creative way. Abdel Wahab’s infusing of long and groovy interludes with varied tonality, rhythmical patterns, and an overall unique approach, carries Om Kalsoum’s powerful voice and brings the song to an incredible climax. In this way, he gives more color and depth to the music, and the skilled soloists in the orchestra are finally able to breathe. Sensual rhythms, breaks and breathtaking solos of accordion, guitar (Omar Khorshid), violin, and organ (Hany Mehanna), have ensured this song is an all-time classic for belly dance routines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSouma Records thought it was time to re-release this monument on a high-quality vinyl format, together with a repress of “Enta Omri”, another classic song by Souma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaylat Hob = ليلة حب (Part - 1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaylat Hob = ليلة حب (Part - 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/0fq7PqZx3MicWUFSjVBgGU?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Om Kalsoum","offers":[{"title":"LP \/ Black","offer_id":42577200611519,"sku":"SMR004-BK","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/tmp_2F1661365034854-bnvoq2wx66-7f56ff70e419fb0143e8f2a975f18292_2FSMR004_2B_281_29_974x_44ceb6fa-c204-4cf6-bbf2-fff839d1c43f.jpg?v=1700170340"},{"product_id":"alf-leila-wa-leila-om-kalsoum-lp","title":"Alf Leila Wa Leila [Import]","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e1xLP pressed on Classic Black Vinyl\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eHigh-Quality pressing in vintage inside-out die-cut sleeve\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003ePrinted inner sleeve with liner notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe studio version of this immortal “Alf Leila we Leila” must undeniably be archived under the best recordings ever made in music history\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eRELEASE DESCRIPTION\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey call her ’The Rose of the Nile’, ‘The Queen of the Nile’, ‘The Daughter of the Nile’ or even ‘The 4th Pyramid of Egypt’ since she’s known as the greatest Egyptian singer of all time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOm Kalsoum’s mythical life story of a poor peasant girl who grew up to become the face of Egypt is a 20th-century fairytale.
