The iconic singer was born on December 13, 1956, in Kfarshima village, Lebanon. She is the daughter of the Lebanese musician Halim El Roumi.
The soprano participated in the talent show 'Studio El Fan in 1974' after she sneaked out of the house with her brother and cousins, where she won the gold medal for oriental singing. Her success prompted her father to change his mind and give her his blessings to pursue a music career as long as she continues her higher education.
In 1975, El Roumi released her first single 'Am Behlamak' and her first studio album 'Wadaa' in 1976.
She made her acting debut in the Egyptian renowned director Youssef Chahine's film 'Awdat Al Ibn Al Dal' (The Return of the Prodigal Son).
In 2001, the soprano was appointed an ambassador for the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and named in 2013 an ambassador of the 'Alam Sagheer' (Small World) program, along with Titanic actor and producer Billy Zane, dedicated to education without borders.
In 2014, El Roumi made history as the first Middle East Humanitarian Ambassador of Bulgari.

Ireland Picks "Sanatorium" for Oscar Race
Yara Sameh The Irish Film and Television Academy has selected Ireland's official entry for the international feature film category of the next Academy Awards. 'Sanatorium,' the Irish-made, Ukrainian-language documentary, is set to represent the country at the 98th Oscars, following in the footsteps of last year's 'Kneecap,' which was shortlisted, and 2003's 'The Quiet Girl,' which became the first film submitted by Ireland to be nominated. The feature debut of Galway-born filmmaker Gar O'Rourke, 'Sanatorium' takes a vivid look at at Kuyalnik Sanatorium, a large 1970s building near Odessa in southern Ukraine, where a small group searches for love, healing and happiness and where mud treatments and Soviet-era therapies continue despite a war close by. The biggest attraction is the mysterious black mud, said to cure infertility, physical disabilities and various other ailments. The film had its world premiere at CPH:DOX in Copenhagen in their main international competition, DOX:AWARD, in late March. 'Sanatorium' is produced by Venom Films by IFTA-winning Ken Wardrop and Andrew Freedman ('His & Hers,' 'Making the Grade'), along with Samantha Corr. It was was co-produced by 2332 Films Ukraine and made with support from Screen Ireland, BBC Storyville, MetFilm Sales, France TV, and Creative Europe. The film was edited by John Murphy ('The Quiet Girl'), with Denys Melnyk ('Militantropos') as director of photography. Irish Distributor Eclipse Pictures will release the film in Irish Cinemas on September 5. The Oscar international feature shortlist will be announced on December 16 and the final five nominees will be announced on January 22. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
