Farid & Asmahan | 7-10 PM EST
Syrian-born siblings Asmahan and Farid El Atrache took the Egyptian music scene by storm with such force in the 1930s that when Asmahan died in a car that went over the rails and into the Nile, one rumor had it that reigning diva Oum Kalthoum had had her killed in a fit of jealous rage.
