NSTworld Revered Arab singer Umm Kulthum returned to light up the stage once more on Friday

Affectionately known in Egypt as"El Sett" , Kulthum's deep, resonant voice enthralled the Arab world for decades, inspired western singers like Bob Dylan and Robert Plant, and can still be heard in Egypt's streets, cafes, taxis and Nile sailboats.

As the curtains were raised, a halo of light appeared in the centre of the stage which transformed into a three-dimensional virtual composition of the singer, sending the audience of more than a thousand into rapturous applause. "My grandmother used to tell me about the famous Thursday concerts of hers which made me really interested in coming tonight."

Last month, the Egyptian musicians' union banned performances of popular electro street music known as mahraganat, which captures the wild, carefree spirit of Egyptian youth but is viewed by conservatives as overstepping moral boundaries.
