Kalthoumiate: A Timeless Homage to Oum Kalthoum Across Morocco

Fifty years after the passing of Oum Kalthoum, the luminous “Star of the East” continues to radiate through the hearts of music lovers around the world. In May 2025, Meydene Productions honors her legacy with Kalthoumiate, an unprecedented musical tour celebrating the enduring spirit of the diva who defined the golden age of Arabic music.

Set to enchant four of Morocco’s most iconic cities—Rabat, Casablanca, Tangier, and Marrakech—Kalthoumiate is more than a tribute; it is a journey through memory, emotion, and transcendent artistry.

Where Nostalgia Meets Excellence

At the heart of this evocative experience is the celebrated conductor Hicham Telmoudi, whose refined musical direction promises to revive the grandeur and emotional power of Oum Kalthoum’s repertoire. Accompanying him is Marwa Naji, renowned Egyptian opera singer, cultural ambassador, and finalist of The Voice, whose voice captures the drama, subtlety, and brilliance of the legend’s most iconic performances.

Together, they breathe life into compositions that once echoed through Cairo’s grand concert halls and continue to stir audiences across generations. This tour reimagines the mystique of tarab—that deeply expressive form of Arabic music—in a way that bridges past and present, tradition and innovation.

A Cultural Pilgrimage Through Four Cities

Each performance will take place in a venue as symbolic as the music itself:

Rabat – May 6, 2025, Théâtre Mohammed V
Tangier – May 7, 2025, Palais des Arts et Culture
Casablanca – May 9, 2025, Studio des Arts Vivants
Marrakech – May 16, 2025, Théâtre Meydene

Audiences are invited to immerse themselves in the soul-stirring universe of Oum Kalthoum—one where melody becomes memory, and each note revives a cultural legacy of rare emotional depth.

An Invitation to Feel, Remember, and Celebrate

Produced by Meydene Productions, the label behind Marrakech’s acclaimed Théâtre Meydene, Kalthoumiate is part of a broader mission to keep Arab musical heritage alive through vibrant and ambitious live performances. With over 14,000 attendees across 39 productions to date, the label continues to captivate a passionate audience throughout Morocco.
