Ahmed's Herb: Oud Queen of Yemen
The article discusses the life of Yemeni artist Nammat Ahmed, who dedicated her life to resisting the social and cultural restrictions that imposed a ban on women's singing in Yemen, especially in the north. Born in 1955 in Taiz, she faced tribal rejection for her love of music, but she managed to present her first works in the early 1970s and established a prominent place for herself in Yemeni singing. She is known for her songs and daring performances, which helped pave the way for women's freedom in the artistic field in Yemen. Her career spanned over fifty years, during which she released more than 120 albums and played a significant role in the development of Yemeni music, despite social and political obstacles. She ceased singing in 2003 due to illness and the general decline of Yemeni arts, and she migrated to Egypt. Nammat is regarded as a strong and intelligent personality, and as one of the symbols of artistic and social struggle for the liberation of Yemeni women.
