Egypt 1966 | 7-10 PM EDT

 

The year before the 1967 War, legendary singer Oum Kalthoum and composer Riad El-Sunbati released “Al Atlal,” generally recognized as the pinnacle of Kalthoum’s artistic career, and arguably one of the greatest songs of the 20th Century. Tonight's all-vinyl episode on WFMU's Give the Drummer Radio explores some three-dozen releases from the same tumultuous year, ranging from escapist twist, cha-cha-cha, and comedic novelties to gut-wrenching refrains of unrequited love and amped-up demonstrations of national pride.
