A Moroccan singer who became one of Egyptian pop's biggest stars, and the first artist to represent Morocco at Eurovision.
Samira Said has lived and recorded in Egypt for more than fifty years, building a career so thoroughly embedded in Egyptian Arabic pop that many younger fans assume she is Egyptian by birth.
In 1980, she became the first artist ever to represent Morocco at the Eurovision Song Contest, a historic first for Moroccan music on the international stage.
