ʿArīb al-Ma’mūnīya (Arabic: عريب المأمونية, b. 181/797–98, d. 277/890–91) was a qayna (slave trained in the arts of entertainment) of the early Abbasid period, who has been characterised as 'the most famous slave singer to have ever resided at the Baghdad court'.[2][3] She lived to the age of 96, and her career spanned the courts of five caliphs.[4]
