The Arabs: Bayram Et-Tounsi
This stamp pays tribute to Bayram Ettounsi (1893-1961), a genius poet and lyricist of Tunisian origin, considered one of the greatest authors of popular songs and poetry in the Arabic dialect. The portrait, drawn by Hatem El Mekki, captures the depth of the gaze of this committed artist.
Bayram Ettounsi marked the history of Arab culture with his ability to express the suffering and hopes of the working classes. He is famous for his collaboration with the biggest names in oriental song, such as Oum Kalthoum. This stamp celebrates Tunisia as a nurturing land of talents that have shined throughout the Arab world.
