CAIRO – 20 May 2021: Former French Minister of Culture Jack Mathieu Émile Lang revealed that he attended a concert for Egypt’s legendary singer Umm Kulthum in Cairo when he was 16, confirming that Kulthum has a special place in his heart.

 

 

 

In an interview with the “From Egypt” program aired on CBC channel, Lang said: “I had that opportunity when I was a student and the credit goes to one of my friends. It was wonderful. I was young to attend a concert for Umm Kulthum in Cairo, and it was very difficult to get a ticket to the concert.  

 

 

 

Umm Kulthum has a special place in my life and I very much enjoyed the musical atmosphere. I will never forget this wonderful concert.”
