Nahida Fadli al-Dajani in the midst of the chorus, putting her question to Souad Hashem

The Radio Chorus... a Bouquet of Young Girls in Love with Song
Nahida Fadli al-Dajani

"... And here is a song by the Radio Chorus," the announcer declares, and the song rises, blended and pure... How often has the listener wondered: and who might the members of this chorus be?

In what follows, Nahida Fadli al-Dajani whispers to us a few small things about this bouquet of young girls, who pour out self and soul before the microphone...

We lower our eyes in reverence before a mouth that does not rest at its work... How often have we cheered and cried glory for those who work in silence, hidden behind the sons of their country in their march toward the larger life.

And what is silence?

Do you take it to be the absence of speech? I say it: no, a thousand times. Welcome to the measured, melodious word that the chorus goes on repeating the whole day long; and we go on lowering our eyes in reverence before mouths
