2. You need to ask me a yes or no question about this person, for example, "Is the person still alive?," "Does the person work in the entertainment industry?," any question you can think of that helps you to reveal the answer. The host answers with yes or no only.
3. Maximum 1 question and 2 guesses per player per answer.

Cyberbob wins with Umm Kulthum, widely considered one of the greatest singers, if not the greatest, in the history of Egyptian and Arabic music. In her lifetime she was called the Voice of Egypt and the Star of the East. Gamal Abdel Nasser himself respected her so much that he would schedule his speeches in such a way as not to interfere with her radio performances. She was an integral part of Egypt’s cultural boom in the mid-20th century, placing Egypt at the cultural center of the Arab world. Even though I can’t understand much Arabic, I personally find her music extremely peaceful and relaxing to listen to.
