Morocco: Samira Said

Superstar from Morocco is finally back.
It took almost 6 months to get the video and it was worth the wait :)

Samira Said, born 1962 in Rabat Samira Bensaid. She debuted at the age of 9, but professionally since 1975. She have recorded 37 albums, eps. She was the one and so far only artist from Morocco in Eurovision Song Contest at 1980 with Bitakkat hob ( the message of love). I am still so sorry for Europe´s bad taste as she and Morocco deserved far more votes.

She has been gaining success all over the arabworld as music is universal and music does connect people like I use to say. Critics aren´t always pleased to modernized tunes, but on the other hand world is changing and so should each artist do just like Samira does and maintains and grows her fanbase all the time.

Do visit her website

 

I adore this song and play it nonstop today and I try not to sing along :)

Morocco : Saad Lamjarred

We´ve been touring around the globe and it´s finally time to make an stop in Morocco.
Morocco where I have visited, but not in the touristic cities I must say. I did tour around the northern part of Morocco and stayed in Tetouan and Tangier most of days. Great country I must say, so much to see and discover. Food is an another passion and yes I still have the tagine kitchen tool in weekly use. Some spices are out just as the mint tea, but c´est la vie they say in France.

Morocco have taken part once in Eurovision Song Contest. Superb Samira Bensaid took part 1980 with the "bitakat hob", but unfortunately european juries didn´t understand the pearl which was served.

  I will write later about Samira. I´m waiting for the new release :)

From Morocco I did select an another superstar Saad Lamjarred, born 1985. He has famous parents, mother actress and father musician. Took part in Arabic Superstar 2nd place.
Unfortunately very little information was able to locate and more found, which can´t be used.
