Thank you for posting these. Asha and Lata's voices are fantastic.
I love these singers from Pakistan/India and male singers just as much.
Now this is the Goddess of the Middle-East, the one and only Oum Khalsoum.
She was a hero in the Arab world. The woman was worshipped. Audiences went wild.
I got to go to one of her Paris performances once in my life.
Not to forget Fayrouz, her Lebanese counterpart. Another extraordinary personality and voiice from the Middle-East. I never got to see her, unfortunately.

Quoting LH459 (Reply 5): This has become a conversation between the two of us, Madame!
I was going to say the same thing, this is a two posters thread.
I did not know Violeta Parra. She sounds very human. Taken from the interview she comes from a family of 10 children, mother is poor and she says she herself is also poor and she never has any money.
How about someone famous, Opera Diva Montserrat Caballe?
Unfortunately she was not well known outside of South America. Many of her songs have become famous when sung by others (i.e. Gracias a la Vida, Volver a los 17).
